“Tools MUST error if they cannot provide a Python that satisfies the version specifier.” I don’t think those tools should be the criterion because we are not even implementing what they do but rather are going with a structured data format now. I’m going to implement this joint PEP in Hatch if/when accepted and it would be a bummer if tools were limited by other tools. I cannot think of a good reason to do so, unless you are of the opinion that Python version management is not a useful feature for folks.
I was just offering another idea because the person didn’t have time to comment here themselves. In any case, I think we need to really think about the delimiter that we use to mark this section as Stephen and Adam said.
It would be great if we could receive user feedback somehow like @brettcannon mentioned to find out what is preferable (for example I also dislike triple backticks).
