Topic: Python 3.8 will reach end of life at the end of this month

According to this website:
https://devguide.python.org/versions/

Will Hyperbola ship a new Python version and if so which one (3.9,3.10,3.11,3.12,3.13)?

Thanks.

No, not for 0.4.5. Perhaps we will update our version for Python in 0.4.6, but nevertheless we won't go upwards beyond 3.9. The reasoning here is that Python itself is no longer supporting LibreSSL since 3.10.

Also: We can't just upgrade Python alone so this would need a major rebuild of really many other packages. We would also appreciate help in doing updates when there is interest.

@throgh I will agree with you on not upgrading beyond 3.9 if you don't have the help to do so.

That no doubt is wise
