14 Looks like you are correct, but note that we currently have 3.10 as
15 stable version, so electrum-ltc should be at least that version.

22 If any user manages to fix the issues mentioned in last rite message
23 (mainly bump to at least 3.10 python target), I would gladly cancel the
24 last-rite and mask.
25 If you do it, please ping me in the PR, and I would gladly review it.

27 Those last-rites I did today are mainly for those packages that were
28 stuck in only 3.8, had a bug open for 7-10 month already. If any
29 maintainer can fix those ebuilds, I would happily revert the last-rite.
