It would be great to have the list of supported platforms per Python version!
Maybe supporting new platforms and dropping support for a platform should be document in What's New in Python x.y. GCC does that for example. It also *deprecates* support for some platforms. Example: https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-9/changes.html -- It's always hard for me to know what is the minimum supported Windows version. PEP 11 refers to Windows support: https://peps.python.org/pep-0011/#microsoft-windows But I don't know how to get this info from the Microsoft documentation. I usually dig into Wikipedia articles to check which Windows version is still supported or not, but I'm confused between "mainstream support" and "extended support". For example, which Python version still support Windows 7? Wikipedia says that Windows 7 mainstream support ended in 2015, and extended support ended in 2020. But Python still has a Windows 7 SP1 buildbot for Python 3.8: https://buildbot.python.org/all/#/builders/60 What is the minimum Windows supported by Python 3.10?
