Upgrade Python used about pext HOT 9 CLOSED

Since we had problems with version 3.10 due to the import of a library, I suppose that in 3.11 we will also have problems, but we will try it.

We had problems with pep257. So hopefully that was our only problem, we will have to see :)

from pext.

In #483 it was found out that pep257 is no longer maintained and incompatible with Python 3.10. We should switch to its successor pydocstyle so we can upgrade Python to a newer release.

from pext.

Only to be clear, the actual scope for this issue is moved the pep257 to pydocstyle. Is this all?

from pext.

The scope is to update the Python version (without increasing the Ubuntu version it's built on), but pep257 was blocking making that possible last time so it's part of what needs to be done to update it :)

from pext.

In the fix about macOS and Linux, I used Python 3.9, that's the reason I am asking because this change is done in the master repository. The pep257 is crashing if I replace by pydocstyle, and it is something that I am fixing right now. Only, to clarify.

Python 3.9

I think it may be good to see if we can support 3.11 without too much hassle (IIRC, pep257 was the only thing blocking that), otherwise 3.9 is already fairly nicely recent :)

Using Python version 3.11 sounds too adventurous and experimental. I love that!

They just released version 3.11, 6 days ago.

Since we had problems with version 3.10 due to the import of a library, I suppose that in 3.11 we will also have problems, but we will try it.

Since the pull request #485 was merged. Do you think it is appropriate to close this topic?

Good catch, I completely forgot, thanks :)
