Get the minimum Python version required for a PyPI package.

Uses python-requires, or classifiers if not found.

pip install get-min-py

get-min-py <pkg>[,pkg2,pkg3,...]  # or getminpy

Example:

CLI options:

import get_min_py

result = get_min_py('requests')
print(result) # => 3.9

results = get_min_py(['numpy', 'pandas', 'flask'])
print(results) # => ['3.11', '3.11', '3.9']

Note: Most type checkers will falsely warn get_min_py is not a callable module because they are incapable of analyzing runtime behavior (where the module is replaced w/ a function for cleaner, direct access). You can safely suppress such warnings using # type: ignore.
