The question is also, how difficult is it from our point of view to switch from Python 3.6 to 3.11?
This is a painful procedure?

Hi @diabloi,

It is straightforward to run a 3.6 script on 3.11. The only issue is that modules written in C/C++ have to be recompiled for the new version, or use the Python stable API. DEVSIM currently works with any intepreter for version 3.6 and higher.
