Question about python updates

Hi,

I'll take the risk of prodding the wasp nest related to python version 
upgrade.

I'm forced to do this as the maintainer of deskutils/calibre.

Tat project has recently released a new major version with and hard 
requirement of python 3.14 or newer [1]. It uses new constructs and 
imports in multiple places, as much as needed to make the "hack it to 
work with 3.11" strategy not viable (short of of creating a full fork of 
the software).

So my question, which is not a demand, but just a request for 
information I did not find elsewhere:

Is there any effort underway to update the python default to a newer 
version?

Also, apart from that, as I explain in [1], if I simply put 
USES=python:3.14+ in the Makefile, the port fails to build due to many 
of its requirements failing to provide a py-314 flavor. Is there any 
work on this front?

I ask to know if there is some effort I can join and maybe help, 
although I'm not a python expert.


Thanks in advance!
