What Are the Supported Python Versions for DeusData codebase-memory-mcp?

The DeusData codebase-memory-mcp package requires Python 3.8 or newer, supporting all subsequent CPython releases through 3.12 and beyond.

The codebase-memory-mcp library defines its Python compatibility constraints in the package manifest. According to the DeusData/codebase-memory-mcp source code, attempting to install or import the library on Python 3.7 or earlier will fail with a version error.

How Python Version Requirements Are Defined

The authoritative source for supported Python versions resides in pkg/pypi/pyproject.toml. At line 11 of this manifest, the requires-python field explicitly sets the minimum version:

requires-python = ">=3.8"

This directive signals to packaging tools like pip and poetry that the library is compatible with Python 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, and any future 3.x releases. Installers will automatically block installation on Python 3.7 or earlier environments.

Verifying Your Python Version Compatibility

Before importing the library, you can programmatically validate your interpreter version to prevent runtime errors. This check ensures you meet the >=3.8 requirement specified in the pyproject.toml:

import sys

# Ensure we are running on at least Python 3.8

if sys.version_info < (3, 8):
    raise RuntimeError(
        "codebase-memory-mcp requires Python 3.8 or newer (detected "
        f"{sys.version_info.major}.{sys.version_info.minor})"
    )

Installation Behavior on Unsupported Versions

When you install via pip on a supported interpreter, the command executes normally:

# Works on Python >=3.8

python -m pip install codebase-memory-mcp

However, if you attempt installation with Python 3.7 or older, pip enforces the requires-python constraint and aborts with the following error:

ERROR: Package 'codebase-memory-mcp' requires a different Python version (>=3.8)

This safeguard prevents incompatible environments from installing the package.

Runtime Verification After Installation

Once installed on a valid Python version, you can confirm the package is accessible and check its version through the public API exposed in pkg/pypi/src/codebase_memory_mcp/__init__.py:

from codebase_memory_mcp import __version__

print(f"codebase-memory-mcp version: {__version__}")

# → codebase-memory-mcp version: 0.1.0   (example)

Summary

• Minimum version: Python 3.8 (defined in pyproject.toml line 11)
• Maximum version: No upper bound specified; compatible with all Python 3.x releases newer than 3.8
• Blocking mechanism: pip automatically prevents installation on Python 3.7 or earlier
• Key file: pkg/pypi/pyproject.toml contains the canonical requires-python declaration

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use codebase-memory-mcp with Python 3.7?

No. The package strictly requires Python 3.8 or newer. If you attempt to install on Python 3.7, pip will reject the installation with a version conflict error because the pyproject.toml specifies requires-python = ">=3.8".

What is the minimum Python version required for codebase-memory-mcp?

Python 3.8 is the minimum supported version. This requirement is hard-coded in the package metadata at pkg/pypi/pyproject.toml line 11, ensuring compatibility with modern type hinting and async features used in the library.

Is Python 3.12 supported by codebase-memory-mcp?

Yes. Since the requires-python field uses the >=3.8 specifier without an upper bound, Python 3.12, 3.13, and subsequent 3.x releases are officially supported. The package will install and run on any CPython version 3.8 or higher.

How do I check if my Python environment is compatible with codebase-memory-mcp?

Run python --version in your terminal to verify you are using Python 3.8+. Alternatively, use the sys.version_info check shown in the code examples above to validate compatibility before attempting to import the library.
