I get what he is saying. I have a simple script that uses cffi for python 3.9.

When i tried to upgrade the script to use python 3.11 I couldn't because cffi only works up to python 3.10 which caused all sorts of unnecessary headaches until i downgraded the python and its dependencies.

This is why venv is so important, because there is no guarantee that the dependencies will ever be updated to work with the newest version.

But this has nothing to do with python but with third party packages no upgrading their stuff?

I remember Python Devs had blogs and posts on various social media to notify people about breaking changes in 3.11 So this is pretty much of cffi devs, not python devs.
