03 / ORIGINAL ISSUE TEXT

py-pdf/pypdf #3051 · read the original issue

Python 3.8 is EOL since 2024-10-07, id est for about three months. On 2025-02-05, Dependabot might stop updating critical pinned dependencies as per https://github.blog/changelog/2025-01-06-closing-down-notice-dependabot-will-no-longer-support-python-version-3-8/:



> On February 5th, 2025, Dependabot will end support for Python version 3.8, which has reached its end-of-life. If you continue to use Python version 3.8, there’s a risk that Dependabot will not create pull requests to update dependencies. To prevent this from happening, please update to a supported release of Python.



In the past, we usually supported EOL Python versions for about one further year, although we have no strong policy for this. (To match the corresponding Ubuntu release cycle, we would have to wait until April 2025 when Ubuntu 20.04 shipping Python 3.8 is going EOL for example.)
