The latest Python in Cygwin, 3.9, reaches end of life in less than a year, 2025-10, according to [0].
Some packages (numpy) are dropping support for 3.9 [1]. Can we please get an update on the status of a newer Python for Cygwin? Thanks! [0] - https://devguide.python.org/versions/ [1] - https://github.com/numpy/numpy/issues/26247 On 10/3/2024 11:55 AM, Robert Terzi via Cygwin wrote:
Any updates on a newer Python 3.x for Cygwin? On Dec 23rd, 2023, Marco Atzeri mentioned in an announcement email[0]: "Python 3.12 will be in the near future introduced and we will skip 3.10 and 3.11." That plan was also mentioned in the Feb 29th 2024 announcement[1] from Marco Atzeri, where the test release of Python 3.9.18 was removed. (The problem with 3.9.18 might have been related to "pip install occasionally hangs" [2]. It looks like Python 3.9.16-1 is still the most current release. Have I missed something, or can we get a status update?
