Minimum Python version for CKAN 2.12 (current master) #8994
Description
Bumped into a Python 3.9 compatibility issue in #8992 and wanted to check before changing anything.
Last time we discussed this (#7935) we decided to target Python 3.10 for CKAN 2.12. It was a while ago so wanted to give people the chance to disagree.
Python 3.9 is scheduled to go EOL in October 2025, which might be a good estimation for when CKAN 2.12 might be out as well.
Here's the updated table with other projects:
| Project | Python versions supported on latest release | Python versions supported in development branch |
|---|---|---|
| GeoNode | >= 3.10 (4.4.3) | >= 3.10 (master) |
| Django | >= 3.10 (5.x) / >= 3.8 (4.x) | >= 3.12 (master) |
I'm +1 on bumping the requirement to Python 3.10 on CKAN 2.10. If you agree add a little thumbs up, if not leave a comment explaining why.
