Slight complication to consider:
- We don't support 3.6 on Windows anymore (in the sense that we don't build, test & upload a .whl file for that). This is because 3.6 has been end-of-life for a while now.
- However, we do test Python 3.6 on Linux, because that's the default Python on Ubuntu 18.04 and we still support that.
Not saying we should talk about that complexity here. But unsure if 3.6 should be on the list or not.

Also we support 3.11 on master now. Just hasn't been released to PyPI yet. So 3.11 should be listed here.
PyPI displays a snapshot of the Readme on the commit that is released.

Opinions, @nedrebo ?
Should this list show the versions that we support somewhere, or just the versions that we support everywhere?

Let's just do the union. Should now be "3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 3.10 and 3.11"

I think we should just drop 3.6 as it is already been EOL for over a year. Even 3.7 is almost EOL too

It's the default Python on Ubuntu 18.04, so I suppose we should drop it when U18 is dropped.

Let's do the ones that are fully supported. I.e that pip install will always work for Linux and Windows when on one of the listed Python versions.
Drop 3.6 here, but keep testing on "Ubuntu 18.04 / Python 3.6" to keep undocumented support best effort until we hit a real blocker for that support or until Zivid SDK drops support for 18.04.

Also: Maybe it should say "or", not "and". Since it's "Dependencies", not "Supported versions".

Drop 3.6 and add 3.11 here also.

Not sure what I want with this, but have in mind that we also state which python we support here https://support.zivid.com/en/latest/api-reference/sdk-lifecycle.html#python depending on the OS. Take it into consideration when deciding what is the best for this PR, to avoid any confusion. |
