** Python 3.9 story: the decision was made without considering that 3.9 is still getting security releases, so we have decided to keep supporting Python 3.9 for PySide 6.8 LTS, but we might drop it in the middle of some bug-fix releases.
*** Things that are considered to support certain python versions are: Internal CI Python versions for each OS, Python version lifecycle https://devguide.python.org/versions/, features that will improve user experience from new versions.
*** Python stubs (pyi) might be compatible with 3.10+
