Developer to limit Python package support to maintained versions

Original: 🚨 Important Announcement 🚨 Going forward all my packages will only "officially" support maintained # Python versions. Me

Software developer CodingJoe announced that his Python packages will officially support only currently maintained Python versions — following the October release cycle, that means Python 3.14 and now 3.15. He clarified the change does not affect Django version support, and security fixes (CVEs) will still be backported to older Python releases. The announcement highlights how open-source maintainers handle dropping support for end-of-life Python versions.

Why now: Python's fast-moving release cycle forces maintainers to decide which versions to keep supporting, a recurring debate in the community.
