Research direction

Review .python-version, the Python versions in .github/workflows/test.yml and .github/workflows/build_and_publish.yml, then check .pre-commit-config.yaml, justfile, and setup.py or pyproject.toml if #236 changes it first. Rebuild requirements and verify that all listed version references consistently use the selected supported Python version.

Description

Python 3.9 is end of life as of October 2025.

This repository is already tested with later Python versions; we should move to a newer version.

  • Update .python-version
  • Update versions in .github/workflows/test.yml: 1, 2
  • Update version in .github/workflows/build_and_publish.yml
  • Update version in .pre-commit-config.yaml
  • Update version in justfile
  • Update version in setup.py (although if #236 is implemented first, it may not exist and pyproject.toml should be updated instead)
  • Rebuild requirements
