Bug#1000336: numba: FTBFS with Python 3.10

[Andreas Tille]

Hi,

I've commited version 0.54.1 to Git since I assume that we have better
chances for Python3.10 support in the more recent upstream version.
Unfortunately the build stops with

dh_auto_clean -O--buildsystem=pybuild
I: pybuild base:237: python3.10 setup.py clean 
...
  from distutils import sysconfig
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/build/numba-0.54.1/setup.py", line 51, in <module>
    _guard_py_ver()
  File "/build/numba-0.54.1/setup.py", line 48, in _guard_py_ver
    raise RuntimeError(msg.format(cur_py, min_py, max_py))
RuntimeError: Cannot install on Python version 3.10.1; only versions >=3.7,<3.10 are supported.
E: pybuild pybuild:354: clean: plugin distutils failed with: exit code=1: python3.10 setup.py clean 


Hoping for an upstream fix of #7562 in their tracker now.

I think pushing for Python3.10 in Debian before such packages with lots
of rdepends (specifically python3-pandas) are ported is quite demanding.

Kind regards

       Andreas.
