03 / ORIGINAL ISSUE TEXT

https://github.com/adrienverge/yamllint/blob/85ccd625a382423edd988fcb796c4dd5897886fb/setup.cfg#L49



According to [PEP 345 Requires-Python](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0345/#requires-python), the value of this field must be a valid [Version Specifier](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0345/#version-specifiers). Which in turn expects this to comply with [PEP 440](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0440/).



While not an issue for those that directly use `pip`, this will cause issues for `poetry` users in the next release (if their current stance is maintained). Discussion of the issue and there stance can be found here: https://github.com/python-poetry/poetry/issues/4095.

Mined from a merged pull request linked to the issue whose changed files are all environment files.

The base commit is the pull request's base, not the dated default-branch commit; the registry is pinned to the merge date so the pull request's own pins resolve.

Default commands from envgap default-recipe synthesizer v1; gold_files are the pull request's environment diff.

Preparation uses current registries. Historical package availability is not enforced here; execution metadata records this limitation separately from the oracle's date-bounding policy.
