Installation failures for `pypy-3.9` on GitHub Actions

[mrmundt]

What did you do?

We have a GitHub Actions suite that installs pillow (and lots of other libraries) on a combination of OS', Python versions, etc. In this suite, we have one job that uses pypy-3.9 which can no longer install pillow.

What did you expect to happen?

Assuming pypy-3.9 is still supported for pillow 11+, we expect it to install.

What actually happened?

Note that pillow installation on pypy-3.9 was fine until 11.1.0 was released. This is a new failure as of the newest release.

What are your OS, Python and Pillow versions?

• OS: Ubuntu 24.04
• Python: pypy-3.9
• Pillow: 11.1.0

Here is a link to the action that failed: https://github.com/Pyomo/pyomo/actions/runs/12749451978/job/35532014220

[wiredfool]

Support for EOL Pypy 3.9 was dropped here: #8335 . That's not to say that it won't work, as Python 3.9 is still supported for another year, but we're not publishing binary wheels for it. The actual error that you're getting above is that the compilation requirements are not met, specifically jpeg headers weren't found.

Okay great, thank you! I figured it was a "kind of quiet" 3.9 drop. I have been advocating for upgrading our testing to 3.10 anyway, so this is great fodder. Appreciated!
