Like, they're a completely different language? They're not compatible in the sense "if I install package for python3.12, it will work in python3.13", because every version uses a separate package tree. Upstream has effectively made every version separate. On top of that, the same "minor" version can have a PyPy variation and a "freethreading" variation now. --=20 Best regards, Micha=C5=82 G=C3=B3rny --=-PnHFcvlunzNqYut7omhi Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQFGBAABCgAwFiEEx2qEUJQJjSjMiybFY5ra4jKeJA4FAmcKTfMSHG1nb3JueUBn ZW50b28ub3JnAAoJEGOa2uIyniQOF0QIAIbY0xbJbU+P4sndUkYiYYajEKeLElkm 5sm7KAQlrzbrhjEuubNlgeMHKEE8qG8FRReSqxnLNbcpTXVZVlCx24MK2wcwbILp YmKhpoG0rYahNsBRRgPL7kpWdlZU1xnPQ6Qp+knIPD1E8DJ/jNVIWOj6f2n6kgn2 4Hd78BYopoUagbFn5eqs88JiDcjBfgVWl8TfRz6/1Xgj46DcVYngf+0z1pDbL50w rX2vb7kV5T1rttuddyJ0kLB1swX13FPIZ898J0NxhhVY0o/6Ww1Jz2MkIAtuE7pW 2aqjZJ5QSCKyhPRZB/fmPTxxvl51QLdq7bHwSIi0CHhDcJc8caeKD7I= =zjUl -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-PnHFcvlunzNqYut7omhi--
