aioredis 1.3.1 and python 3.9

[agorinenko]

Hello everyone, I have a package with a file setup.py. In it, I specified:

install_requires=[
	...
    "aioredis==1.3.1"
]

I try to install my package on Windows 10 OS with python 3.9. I get an error:

Running setup.py install for hiredis ... error

Installation with python 3.8 is successful. The error occurs because hiredis does not support python 3.9.
Does aioredis package support python 3.9? Thank you!

UPD:
I found a related issue #917 but the changes were pushed to the master branch. Are you planning to release this fix on https://pypi.org/?

Try using the alpha version aioredis==2.0.0a1

[agorinenko]

Thanks for the answer. But aioredis does not have the version 2.0.0a1. Perhaps you mean hiredis==2.0.0.dev0.
It's works. Unfortunately I can't use alpha versions of packages in my solution. :(

[Andrew-Chen-Wang]

Ah sorry. I didn't realize it wasn't published yet. The best I can offer is to use a specific commit on the main/master branch for now as the setup.py currently says hiredis is optional but only for our "alpha version."

I would keep an eye out for our 2.0.0 release if you're not allowed to use alpha packages in general though. If you are, I'll ping you once we get that alpha version out!

@agorinenko We've pushed out 2.0.0a1 Please take a look and, if you can, please provide some feedback at #930 Greatly appreciate it!
