First of all, huge thanks to @DavidVujic for bringing Polylith to the Python community. Your efforts are much appreciated!

My question is about the minimum Python version that python-polylith supports. Currently, the pyproject.toml file specifies python = "^3.8.1" as the compatible Python versions. However, Python 3.9 reached end of life last year (Oct 2025).

Would you consider bumping the minimum supported Python version from 3.8 to 3.10? I'm asking because it would be good to know whether PR submissions can use features that were introduced in Python 3.10 such the match statement, etc. Many thanks!

Hi @maxalbert! I've been wanting to bump the minimum version to 3.10 for a while now, but also have my own guideline to avoid breaking changes as much as possible. I have seen that 3.8 and 3.9 is still used from the download stats (surprisingly), even if 3.8 is getting close to none. Long-term, this is the plan I have and I will likely bump the major version then, but for now I will stick to supporting 3.8. I hope this won't be too much issues when contributing 🙏
