Python Version
=================

In order to reduce the technical debt of maintaining the project, Sage follows
the time window-based support policy
`SPEC 0 — Minimum Supported Dependencies <https://scientific-python.org/specs/spec-0000/>`_
for Python versions. Accordingly, support for Python versions will be dropped
3 years after their initial release.
For the drop schedule of Python versions, see the
`SPEC 0 <https://scientific-python.org/specs/spec-0000/#drop-schedule>`_
document.
