Rationale

  • It's good practice
  • In order to (hopefully) stop Windows Security detecting the binary as a trojan. (Apparently it's a perennial issue with py-installer bundled packages)

Minimum Python version

I wanted to keep support for Python 3.7 as it will receive security patches until 2023-06, but officially it stopped receiving support in 2020-06 and so many packages needed >=3.8 in order to be updated. As such, I migrated minimum version requirements to Python 3.8.

CLI Binaries Python Version

We used to build the binaries with 3.7 to ensure maximum support, but I discovered this is not actually the case. As PyInstaller bundles the Python interpreter with the package, we do not need to use an older version of python. As such, I upgraded the builds to run off of 3.10.

Testing Python Versions

In accordance with the above changes, CI testing now happens for Python 3.8 & 3.10

Tested the binaries on both Win10 and Win11 machines with the latest security patches and this seems to have solved Windows' misplaced concerns about it being a trojan... Thanks to @SomerEsat for the bug report & helping with the testing.

I updated the branch protection rules for dev for the new py 3.10 tests.
