cffi v1.16.0

v1.16.0
  • Add support for Python 3.12. With the removal of distutils from Python 3.12, projects using CFFI features that depend on distutils at runtime must add a dependency on setuptools to function under Python 3.12+. CFFI does not declare a runtime setuptools requirement to avoid an unnecessary dependency for projects that do not require it.
  • Drop support for end-of-life Python versions (2.7, 3.6, 3.7).
  • Add support for PEP517 builds; setuptools is now a required build dependency.
  • Declare python_requires metadata for Python 3.8+. This allows unsupported Pythons to continue using previously released sdists and wheels.
  • Move project source under src/; a more standard layout that also enables CI to more easily catch packaging errors.
