setting “python_requires” with ">=3.5" is a better way to declare Python compatibility
Hello! I notice that the dependency of this distribution
install_requires=["Django >=2.1"]
I found that Django>=2.1 requires Python>=3.5 , and you declare supported python:3.5+ in README. I guess you want to set python>=3.5. But I think it is a better way to declare Python compatibility by using the keyword argument python_requires than declaring that in README.rst:
- Descriptions in python_requires will be reflected in the metadata
- “pip install” can check such metadata on the fly during distribution selection , and prevent from downloading and installing the incompatible package versions.
- If the user does not specify any version constraint, pip can automatically choose the latest compatible package version for users.
Way to improve: modify setup() in setup.py, add python_requires keyword argument:
setup(…
python_requires=">=3.5",
…)
