Python 3.10 support

[AntonKarabaza]

Greetings!

I have a question about Python 3.10 support.

Recently pgqueuer dropped Python 3.10 support with the motivation that Python 3.10 is EOL (MR: #384).

However Python 3.10 is still on security patches and not EOL, see: https://devguide.python.org/versions.

So my question is - is it possible to keep Python 3.10 support for longer?

Hi there – thanks for raising this and for linking to the official devguide. You’re right: Python 3.10 is still in its “security-fix” phase until October 2026, so strictly speaking it isn’t EOL yet.

When I removed 3.10 in MR #384 I believed it was blocking a couple of dependency bumps; after double-checking, that assumption was incorrect.

I’m happy to restore 3.10 support until it actually reaches EOL (Oct 2026) or until a hard blocker appears.

Planned steps (can be done in one PR):

1. Revert the classifiers & pyproject.toml change that dropped 3.10.
2. Re-enable the 3.10 job in .github/workflows/ci.yml.
3. Add a short note to CHANGELOG.md explaining that 3.10 support is back and will be maintained on a best-effort basis until its security window closes.

Unless anyone has objections, I’ll open that MR in the next couple of days.

Thanks again for catching this!
