python-eol

A simple tool to check if the current running python version is beyond or close to end of life (eol).

Warns 60 days before eol, and errors when using a python version that is beyond eol.

Motivation

We tend to often forget which python version we are using for a project and that those version eventually will not get security updates once they are beyond eol. This tool can be used to check this, for example, in a CI/CD system or as a pre-commit hook.

Installation

pip install python-eol

Usage

Simply invoke eol from your command line

eol

Options:

usage: eol [-h] [--fail-close-to-eol] [--check-docker-files] [--nep29]

eol check if your python version is beyond end of life

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --fail-close-to-eol   Fail if the python version is close to eol instead of just warn
  --check-docker-files  Search for Dockerfile (**/*Dockerfile*) and check the python versions specified inside them
  --nep29               Use NEP0029 end of life policy
