Missing 8.0.1 .whl for pypy36 on Windows

[akornatskyy]

What did you do?

On windows:

# works as expected, downloads Pillow-7.2.0-pp36-pypy36_pp73-win32.whl
pip install pillow==7.2.0

# since there is no whl, it tries to compile from source by dowloading Pillow-8.0.1.tar.gz
pip install pillow

What did you expect to happen?

There is pypy36 whl for windows.

What actually happened?

Compilation error.

What are your OS, Python and Pillow versions?

• OS: Windows 10
• Python: pypy36
• Pillow: 8.0.1

Looks like there's only a PyPy3.7 wheel for the 8.0.1 release (#4764): https://pypi.org/project/Pillow/#files
But there is a PyPy3.6 wheel for 8.0.0: https://pypi.org/project/Pillow/8.0.0/#files

IIRC the 8.0.0 wheels for Windows omitted libpng and should not be affected by the FreeType CVE, so I think you can use 8.0.0 on Windows if you don't need CBDT font support. The two releases are identical except for the included FreeType library version in wheels.

Yes, it works with 8.0.0.

There's also only *pypy37* and no *pypy36* binaries at https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/

@cgohlke Is the general idea only to make binaries for the latest PyPy version?

[cgohlke]

I only maintain one PyPy installation on my system.

Okay, thanks! Let's close this then.
