MacPort's current default Python version is 3.10 - can we do the same for vpype?

[abey79]

Officially, vpype 1.9 doesn't support 3.10 yet, but I'm working on it for vpype 1.10 (abey79/vpype#417). The issues are mostly due to dependencies, so by further patching setup.py I might be able to make it work if this is important.

[abey79]

Actually, this would require to update both py-multiprocess and py-pyside2 for compatibility with 3.10. I guess this is beyond the scope of this PR.

[herbygillot]

Thanks for this submission @abey79; just a few comments.

[abey79]

@herbygillot Thank you very much for the feedback. I fixed the easy stuff, but I'm guess we have to stick to 3.9 for the time being.

I'm unsure what's going on with the macOS-11 run:

Error: The following dependencies were not installed because all of them have unmet dependencies (likely due to a dependency cycle): libheif gdk-pixbuf2 gobject-introspection py310-mako py310-beaker py310-setuptools
Build of dependency 'gd2' with variants '+x11' failed, aborting.
Processing dependencies for 'vpype' failed, aborting.

Building 'vpype' ... [ERROR] (failed to install dependency 'gd2') maintainers: ryandesign@macports.org.

The 10.15 run was cancelled this time, but it went through before I force-pushed the cosmetic changes:

does it explicitly only support these two platforms or can it build on other, by MacPorts supported, ones as well. In the latter case please just remove this line and let MacPorts set its defaults

[abey79]

The reason I mentioned these archs is that glContext (and thus ModernGL) need OpenGL 3.3, which is supported by macOS 10.9 and later, which in turn restricts to the listed archs. Apart from the OGL 3.3 requirement, there is to my knowledge nothing that would preclude building on other arch, but I'm unable to test this.

I'm unsure what is the correct practice in such instance. I'm happy to remove that line if this is the right thing to do.

thanks @abey79! A few more comments after a quick read through, some of them might/will apply to all ports in this PR.

[abey79]

Thanks for your review @reneeotten! I've made fixes for all your points but one, and rebased/force pushed. Please let me know what's the best course of action for the remaining issue.

[reneeotten]

thanks @abey79 and apologies for the delay
