updating-python-support SKILL.md skillA

updating-python-support from heikkitoivonen/python-time-space-complexity is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add heikkitoivonen/python-time-space-complexity/updating-python-support@git:20261016.472e85f

Pins git:20261016.472e85f in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Updates this repository's supported Python range when an old version reaches EOL or a new final version is released. Covers package metadata, CI pins, version references, documentation, translations, public API manifests, tests, and lockfile verification.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Updating Python Support

Change the supported Python range without erasing useful history or leaving the
site, package metadata, CI, and tests disagreeing about what is supported.

## Establish the Transition

1. Identify the version being dropped, the version being added, or both.
2. Verify against official Python sources that:
   - a dropped version has reached its official EOL date; and
   - an added version has reached its official final release date.
3. Do not add alpha, beta, or release-candidate versions. Do not drop a version
   before EOL.
4. Find the latest patch release for every supported minor version. CI pins
   exact patch releases, not minor-only versions; the oldest and newest of them
   are the boundaries verified locally.
5. Record the old and new inclusive support ranges before editing. Use these as
   the audit criteria throughout the change.

Prefer python.org release and lifecycle pages, the released version's official
"What's New" document, and the matching released CPython branch. Do not use
CPython `main` as evidence for a final release.

## Update Package and Tool Metadata

Edit `pyproject.toml` as one coherent source-of-support change:

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add heikkitoivonen/python-time-space-complexity/updating-python-support@sha256:e06e77340d82cd42

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261016.472e85f, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
