Filelock LTS (py3.14) - ➡️ REDIRECT

⚠️ Disclaimer: This project is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or associated with the official filelock maintainers. All patches and releases are independently maintained and provided on a best-effort basis to support legacy environments.

➡️ Modern Python Redirect

This package ensures you are using a secure version of filelock on Python 3.14.

Since Python 3.14 is supported by the official upstream maintainers, this LTS package acts as a Meta-Package / Proxy.

How it works

Installing this package automatically installs the official filelock >= 3.20.1, which contains the official fix for CVE-2025-68146.

pip install filelock-lts-py3.14

Why use this?

• Consistency: Use filelock-lts across your entire fleet (legacy and modern) without changing requirements files.
• Continuity: Ensures automated security redirect logic remains active even if upstream release patterns change.

🔮 The Future: Proactive Dependency Security

The Filelock LTS ecosystem is evolving to provide earlier visibility and stronger controls around dependency risk:

1. Early Warning Releases: Placeholder LTS releases may be published when a potential upstream security issue is under investigation, allowing users to prepare before official advisories are issued.
2. Runtime Policy Enforcement (Optional): An opt-in runtime module that detects vulnerable dependency versions at runtime and enforces user-configured policies (warn, block, or isolate).
3. Configurable Security Policies: Teams can choose how unpatched dependencies are handled based on their risk tolerance and operational needs.
