Usage

from py_version_tracker import PyVersionTracker

Retrieving the Latest Version

You can use the latest_version property to retrieve the latest Python version available for download.

tracker = PyVersionTracker()
latest_version = tracker.latest_version
print(f"The latest Python version is: {latest_version}")

---

Retrieving All Versions

You can use the all_versions property to retrieve all available Python versions.

tracker = PyVersionTracker()
all_versions = list(tracker.all_versions)
print("All available Python versions:")
for version in all_versions:
    print(version)

---

Retrieving Active Versions

You can use the active_versions method to retrieve active Python versions along with their status, start date, end date, and schedule.

tracker = PyVersionTracker()
active_versions = list(tracker.active_versions())
print("Active Python versions:")
for version in active_versions:
    print(version)

---

Retrieving Unsupported Versions

You can use the unsupported_versions method to identify unsupported Python versions.

# Identify all unsupported versions
unsupported = list(PyVersionTracker.unsupported_versions())
print("Unsupported Python versions:")
for version in unsupported:
    print(version)

---

Validating a Version

You can use the is_version method to validate a given Python version.

valid_version = "3.8.1"
is_valid = PyVersionTracker.is_version(valid_version)
print(f"Is {valid_version} a valid Python version? {is_valid}")

Check if a version is deprecated

You can use the is_deprecated method to identify deprecated Python versions.

# Check if a version is deprecated
version_to_check = '2.8.0'
if py_version_tracker.is_deprecated(version_to_check):
    print(f'The Python version {version_to_check} is deprecated.')

Check if a version is within a specified range

You can use the version_range method to identify deprecated Python versions.

# Check if a version is within a specified range
target_version = '3.0.1'
version_range = py_version_tracker.version_range(target_version, above=True)
print(f'Python versions above {target_version}: {version_range}')

---

Check if a system meets the required minimum python version

You can use the version_checker method.

py_version_tracker.version_checker(sys.version, minimum_version='3.8')

Requirements

• Python 3.8+
• aiohttp
• beautifulsoup4
