On February 5th, 2025, Dependabot will end support for python version 3.8, which has reached its end-of-life. If you continue to use python version 3.8, there's a risk that Dependabot will not create pull requests to update dependencies. To prevent this from happening, please update to a supported release of python. As of January 2025, the latest supported release of python is version 13.3.
