AFAIK, much of the scientific ecosystem drops Python support after 3 years, not 5: <a href="https://scientific-python.org/specs/spec-0000/">https://scientific-python.org/specs/spec-0000/</a><br/><br/>I don&#39;t know who your clients are. But I imagine that if we do add `sys.supported_until`, you&#39;ll see someone show up with an enterprise distro, running Python 3.6 with a 2030 EOL date baked into it. (And it would be correct because they do get backports for critical security fixes, and the system&#39;s built to get those fixes actually installed.) 2024-12-21T04:20:00Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsv0vt07q6jefurpqw6w0uxxj00978vlns3gx4ztj06qd0wygfvlaszyrfk9sgtpvz9kskc0hjjmd8xrsfrdhh7ulftem50ulrpd76un0lmjzz5k3z In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsygzzmjq8cgn2s5pdg0c56hh97j735cen8gewhadtpzf53ceewguq46ydlq'>nevent1q…ydlq</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>In CPython&#39;s case, &#34;support&#34; means &#34;we&#39;ll release new versions with non-breaking bugfixes&#34;.<br/>If they don&#39;t update every few months, what good is this support for? 2024-12-20T18:54:49Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs207437fzq3ywhxwm5pjuuxtfj6majehwx0cjazg0hyhrund3acuczyrfk9sgtpvz9kskc0hjjmd8xrsfrdhh7ulftem50ulrpd76un0lmjtf6sm7 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqszsm406pn6wsn5zuj53qtls20dx5cv9g0fa09vnrvh4c6pgvhqfxcyfc4tl'>nevent1q…c4tl</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>That&#39;s EOL for source releases from python.org. If you get the binary installers, or Conda builds, python-build-standalone, or a distro package, you&#39;ll get different dates -- and also different *kinds* of support.<br/><br/>IMO, the devguide chart is aimed at core devs, to see when to backport what.<br/>Perhaps we need user-facing docs... but then we&#39;d probably need to define what we promise as “support”. 2024-12-20T13:36:14Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsxtw9kl5xamgrpmrmc6e4t9tphx4phy4mkkr63hxqngpd9pkycx6czyrfk9sgtpvz9kskc0hjjmd8xrsfrdhh7ulftem50ulrpd76un0lmj8qrw4p In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqspg83nl7yurc690g6mve56l7hcuws489ugfs7qpkw0mpf2pljwkwg5f2zfq'>nevent1q…2zfq</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>What kind of support?
