BUG: pyzmq v26 installation fails (build from sources) about pyzmq

[minrk]

we mistakenly used the --pre argument ^^

Thanks for reporting, anyway :). FWIW, I think it's a really good practice to run tests with --pre, because if downstream packages don't do this, prereleases have very little point.

I filled out all forms and clicked Submit but nothing happened.

Ah, weird. I'll keep an eye out if anything comes up, or if it was an intermittent issue.

I just published pyzmq 26a3, which I think fixes this.

You're right, I don't know how many years it's been since you haven't needed a prerelease to use drafts. I'll update it.

Our Build succeeds again with 26.0.0a3. Thanks for the quick help!

PS: I couldn't submit using the "Bug Report" template, so i created this "blank" issue, trying to add all relevant information.

Thanks for testing the prerelease!

I don't really understand why all the CI builds are passing, but I suspect explicitly creating the backend directory will do it.

Thanks! Can you tell me what the problem was with the template? I don't see anything. Blank issue's always fine, the template's just there to help. It seems like it would have worked fine here, though, so I'd like to fix it if I can.

It was actually an unwanted test, as we mistakenly used the --pre argument ^^
But will keep an eye on it nevertheless.

I filled out all forms and clicked Submit but nothing happend. Tried it on a new page and the same result.
From other bugs created here early it looks like it should work. Don't know what the problem was in my case.

Wonderful, thanks again for testing!

I wanted to get back on this real quick. In our use case, we have a hard requirement on WebSockets, therefore we need to enable Draft support. The documentation specifically suggests to use the --pre flag. But if it is not required, shouldn't that be updated in the docs too?

pyzmq/docs/source/howto/draft.md

Lines 29 to 37 in 5bc400b

	And to install pyzmq with draft support:
	```bash
	export ZMQ_PREFIX=${PREFIX}
	export ZMQ_DRAFT_API=1
	pip install -v --no-binary pyzmq --pre pyzmq
	```
	By specifying `--no-binary pyzmq`, pip knows to not install wheels, and will compile pyzmq from source.
