Hello everyone,
Within IdentityPython we have agreed to support the Python version
that comes with the stable version of Debian. The current stable
distribution of Debian is version 11, codenamed bullseye. It was
initially released as version 11.0 on August 14th, 2021 and its latest
update, version 11.6, was released on December 17th, 2022.
Debian stable supports Python 3.9, so I am looking towards bumping the
minimum supported Python version to 3.9, for PySAML2 and then for
SaToSa. Once this is done, we will be adding typing information to the
codebases to ease contributions from other developers and start
separating the public APIs from internal code. This will aid in
documenting what is there, refactoring the code and cleaning up old
and unused code.
The plan is to create a new release with the currently merged changes.
Then, have a separate release just bumping the minimum Python version
required by the package.
Expect these new releases to happen within the next week.
Cheers,
