SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Identifies Python version compatibility issues across 3.10–3.12 to prevent runtime failures when upgrading Python versions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Workflow-driven checks reading project constraints from pyproject.toml, scanning for incompatible imports, syntax, typing, and behavioral differences using the compatibility table.
  • Provides concrete remediation steps and references to the compatibility table for targeted environments.
  • Use Case: A library maintained for 3.10–3.12 can be validated before releases with automated checks.

Quick Start

Run the compatibility check on your project to surface 3.10–3.12 issues and recommended fixes.

FAQPage Schema
How do I check Python code for compatibility issues across versions 3.10 to 3.12?

To check Python compatibility across 3.10 to 3.12, scan your codebase for incompatible imports, syntax, typing constraints, and behavioral differences using a compatibility table, then review the generated remediation notes. This process validates projects declaring constraints in pyproject.toml.

What Python version incompatibilities should I look for when upgrading from 3.10?

When upgrading Python from 3.10, look for incompatible imports like tomllib or tomli, changes to datetime.fromisoformat, and typing improvements. Static analysis can detect these behavioral differences and syntax constraints to prevent runtime failures on 3.11 or 3.12.

Does pyproject.toml requires-python constraint validation help ensure code runs reliably on target Python versions?

Yes, validating the pyproject.toml requires-python constraint ensures code runs reliably on target Python versions. By reading project constraints and scanning for affected features, you can enforce detection of incompatible imports and typing limitations across 3.10 to 3.12.

How do I fix Python typing and import errors found during a 3.12 compatibility check?

To fix Python typing and import errors found during a 3.12 compatibility check, apply the concrete remediation steps provided by the analysis. These fixes address incompatible imports and typing constraints by referencing the compatibility table for the targeted environment.

What's the best way to automate Python 3.10-3.12 compatibility checks before a library release?

The best way to automate Python 3.10-3.12 compatibility checks before a release is to run a static analysis workflow that reads your pyproject.toml constraints and scans for incompatible syntax and modules. This surfaces version issues and provides targeted fixes.

Why does my Python code fail with tomllib or datetime.fromisoformat imports on different versions?

Your Python code fails with tomllib or datetime.fromisoformat imports due to behavioral differences and module availability across 3.10 to 3.12. Running a compatibility check detects these specific incompatible imports and provides concrete remediation notes.
