Summary
Root cause
Installation on newer Python versions was blocked by obsolete dependency pins and legacy CMake Python discovery. The native backends also depended on python-igraph implementation details, preventing migration to current igraph releases. Separately, source distributions omitted files required to build the native extension.
Impact
pip installfrom the source distribution can now build SpinQit on supported Python versions without preinstalling build tools into the target environment. Python 3.8 remains supported while Python 3.9 through 3.12 can use compatible current dependencies.Validation
On Windows x86-64 with Visual Studio 2022 Build Tools, the exact source distribution from this branch was tested in clean Conda environments using Python 3.8.20, 3.9.25, 3.10.20, 3.11.15, and 3.12.13. For every version:
