Okay, but support stops at Python 3.10. I have nothing against the tool - it looks interesting. But isn’t support of current versions of Python table stakes for a tool like this? How am I, as a potential user of this tool, supposed to interpret the lack of 3.11 support and a last release dated end of last year?

After the chaos of Python 2to3, backwards Python's backwards compatibility has been amazing. The tool is created for developers and claims 100% code coverage. Determining if it works with any specific version of Python would be a trivial exercise of clone the repo, make an venv, and run the tests.

This is something that a dev should do when evaluating a new dependency even when it claims to support the version relevant to you. Sadly, many do not.
