Compatibility

Added in version 0.9.1.

Python versions

We strive to have released versions support all Python versions actively maintained at the time of release, but due to logistical constraints and major syntactical reworks in 3.12, it would be very difficult to support Python 3.11 or below. This codebase is, however, future-proof, integrating modern features such as lazy imports non-intrusively and using the newest compatible syntax. Like most libraries with multiple submodules, we have a compatibility layer, which currently backports the shutdown() method of asyncio.Queue and the Placeholder support in functools.partial, albeit slower than the C version. We also can’t port this package to PyPy because it is stuck on 3.11 and some internals crucial to how some utilities are written differ. However, the weaker promise to support all actively maintained versions of Python will be upheld; that is, users need not worry about support for the newest version and the one before it, along with the version the main branch corresponds to, which is the one in the development (alpha, beta, rc) phase. See PEP 602 for a detailed explanation, and the status of Python versions.
