Why would you want to? That just sounds like adding extra complexity and
pain for no benefit.
Instead of requirements:
- requires Python 3.5 or better
you have requirements:
- Python 3.5 or better
- math 2.7 or better
- sys 2.1 or better
- glob 5.9 or better
- etc
This does not seem like an improvement to me. I like going to
StackOverflow, and if I read a solution or recipe that says "tested with
Python 3.8" I know it will run in 3.8, without having to guess what the
minimum requirements for each module are.
Some of the Linux distros already split the stdlib into pieces. This is
a real pain, especially for beginners. The process changes from:
$ dnf install python3
# or apt-get or whatever package manager you use
and everything documented at python.org Just Works straight out of the
box, to a much more annoying process:
$ dnf install python3
and then you have mysterious ImportErrors because some modules aren't
installed, and you have to try to work out how to install them, and
that's not an easy task:
$ dnf search python3 | wc -l
