Minimum Supported Versions#

Keeping with the industry support of Python versions https://www.python.org/downloads/, this package will try to support the currently supported Python versions. The minimum supported dependency versions will be the newest version of the dependency that was available when the minimum supported Python version was released.

Dropping support for a dependency version is considered a major change and will result in a major version bump.

Planned support calendar. The end dates aren’t December 31st, they’re the October end of life dates for the associated Python version.

Note

The different Clang versions are not exercised in CI. Most of the Python API for Clang seems pretty stable and as long as the most recent version of Clang keeps working it’s hoped that it will catch most issues.
