Python 3.8 + pip 23: Works Mechanically; Python 3.8 Is EOL
Python 3.8+pip 23
pip 23.x supports Python 3.8, and the combination runs without errors. However, Python 3.8 reached EOL in October 2024 and no longer receives security patches. Package support for 3.8 is being dropped across the ecosystem. Upgrade to Python 3.12.
