Keep in mind that there is qgis the source code and, for a limited set of operating systems and CPU types, packages published by qgis.org. Then there are packages in various packaging systems (such as GNU/Linux distributions, but also pkgsrc, FreeBSD ports, probably homebrew). The point of listing those is that saying "qgis x uses python y" is not a sensible statement. My understanding is that older qgis was qt5 only and supported a variety of python versions, and that some recentish version can then build qt5 or qt6, and probably at eome point a branch will be qt6 only. qgis master says the minimum python version is 3.9. I am guessing your plugin does a try/import/except for qt6 so that if it's going to use qt5 it can run on a machine without qt6 installed. I think your minimum version needs to be the oldest version of qgis that has some qgis feature you really need, and you should try to keep it as low as possible. I am unclear on if there is a facility to mark a plugin as needing 3.12, or if plugins are supposed to only use python language features matching the lowest python version accepted by the lowest qgis version they require. Python 3.12 seems like a very aggressive requirement for now. Put another way, if someone running 3.34 built with qt5 and python 3.11 (which is behind but not egregious as 3.40 is pretty new) tries to load your plugin, what goes wrong? _______________________________________________ QGIS-Developer mailing list QGIS-Developer@lists.osgeo.org List info: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer Unsubscribe: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer
