Motivation
Contributors might get confused by our current documentation stating Python 3.11+ is needed as Python 3.12 does not have full support at this time.
For dev environments we already have a checked in
.python-version
file in the top level, which would get picked up by any python version manager (e.g., pyenv).This can already serve as the single source of truth for this.
Changes
.python-version
and handle the version themselves.
