Hey @ljybhsw, thanks for the post. Unfortunately Positron only supports Python versions 3.9 and above; see the docs. Python 3.8 reached end-of-life in 2024, so we can't commit to maintaining support for such an old version, since there will be no more security updates or patches to it.

I would recommend updating your code to work with a more modern Python version so you can also benefit from its bugfixes and security patches!
