We don't test all python versions where pg_activity works in CI.
Should we? Only for python's supported versions (3.10>3.14)?
What do we do in our other projects?

As discussed today, I think we should only test and talk about the supported Python 3 version. So, in my humble opinion, for testing, we have two solutions:

  • Test all versions exhaustively, but this will be time-consuming and painful.
  • Only test the minimum and maximum versions (3.10 and 3.14).

If it works with an older Python version, that would be good for users in that situation, but we cannot guarantee that.
