bigluck opened a new issue, #1348: URL: https://github.com/apache/iceberg-python/issues/1348
### Feature Request / Improvement Currently, `pyiceberg 0.8.0` enforces strict Python version constraints (`python = "^3.9, <3.13, !=3.9.7"`). While I understand the reasoning behind this - Python 3.13 hasn't been officially tested and supported yet - this constraint creates some practical limitations. The main issue is that it prevents early adopters and developers from testing or using pyiceberg with newer Python versions, as package managers like `poetry` and `pip` will strictly enforce these version constraints and block the installation. Given that: 1. Major releases of pyiceberg can take up to 5 months 2. Minor releases can take up to 1.5 months 3. Early testing with newer Python versions can help identify compatibility issues sooner (see https://github.com/apache/iceberg-python/pull/1256#issuecomment-2442124313) I suggest removing the `<3.13` constraint from the Python version specification. This would allow developers to: - Test pyiceberg with pre-release Python versions - Identify potential compatibility issues earlier - Continue using pyiceberg in environments with newer Python versions (at their risk) - Provide feedback about compatibility issues -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
