Description
## Description
When attempting to install the package on macOS using Python 3.13, the installation fails during the build of wavpack-numcodecs, even after installing wavpack via homebrew.
## Environment
- OS: macOS
- Python: 3.13
- Installation command: `pip install -e ".[all]"`
## Error
The installation fails with compilation errors in wavpack-numcodecs:
```bash
error: call to undeclared function '_PyGC_FINALIZED'
```
and
```bash
error: too few arguments to function call, expected 6, have 5
```
Full error trace shows Python 3.13 compatibility issues with the wavpack-numcodecs package during compilation.
## Workaround
Downgrading to Python 3.12 resolves the installation issue.
## Steps to reproduce
1. Create a Python 3.13 environment
2. Install wavpack: `brew install wavpack`
3. Try to install package: `pip install -e ".[all]"`
## Additional Context
This appears to be a compatibility issue between wavpack-numcodecs and Python 3.13's API changes. The issue may be specific to macOS users
