Limited testing environments

[nocomplexity]

Dear @jurgenwigg ,

Do you feel confident about changing in tox.ini:

env_list = py{38,39,310,311,312,313,314}

into:
env_list = py{311,312,313,314}

This from a security point of view based on supported versions. Python 3.10 support for security ends this year I thought.
Regards!

Main question is which python versions should be supported. I don't see any problem in adding 3.10 to the test environments.

From a security perspective only Python supported versions should be supported. After all, this is a Python security tool.

Only Python 3.10 is EOL this year and security people (like me) always advice people/companies to do that upgrade -) So this means py{311,312,313,314}.

However you can and should argue if support for Python 311-312 is really needed for this tool to be included in tox.

Important is that the Python ast module has always some changes when a major Python version changes. But I thought I added some things to check for 314 only things and the ast calls now present still work on Python 311-312-313.

Can you life with automatic testing (for now) on only: env_list = py{311,312,313,314} ?

Regards!

Misunderstanding from my site. I'm a person who prefers approach 'the newer, the better'. So dropping support for 3.10 is OK. My initial proposal to take all version from 3.8 to 3.14 was caused by entry in pyproject.toml where 3.8 was listed as a minimal required version. I propose to drop 3.10 and support from 3.11 to 3.14.
