Recently, however, I have become more of a programmer in python and am curious what the direction is for addressing our current default version of 3.11. According to Python, this version will be EOL by 10/2027. With the pace of change on portstree and ironing out various issues and software lifecycle, I imagine it will take some planning, coordination and many updates to meet this deadline. Are there any conversations, efforts or planning in addressed our current default and what our new path may be? My apologies if this has already been discussed, but I have checked recent archives and wiki for breadcrumbs, but didn't discover anything recent. Many thanks! -jgh
