If the Sage library were to support a larger version range than Sage-the-distribution were to support, we would have to test this version support by another mechanism, separate from Sage-the-distribution. I don't understand - Sage the distribution is already on a newer than 3.8 Python, whereas Sage library does support 3.8. "Support", not "ship". As you are aware, through our spkg-configure mechanism, we accept system Python 3.8–3.11. (https://github.com/sagemath/sage/blob/develop/build/pkgs/python3/spkg-configure.m4) spkg-configure is a mechanism of the Sage distribution, not of the Sage library. The version check is not just for ensuring that the Sage library works with the system Python, but also for all the Python packages that the Sage distribution ships. The Python version check of the Sage library, on the other hand, is done by "pip" on the basis of "python_requires" defined in src/setup.cfg[.m4] (https://github.com/sagemath/sage/blob/develop/src/setup.cfg.m4). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
