This PR adds python 3.14 support, we can't set default version to 3.14 just yet as in latest python, distutils was removed, so a lot of recipes need updating.

Closes #3219

Should Python 3.13 be added to the automated testing?

python-for-android/.github/workflows/push.yml

Line 39 in 3c5b66d

python-version: ['3.8', '3.9', '3.10', '3.11']

What about Python 3.14 and 3.14t (free threaded)?

@cclauss I did tested python build with --disable-gil option, and there were some segmentation fault errors.

It's an experimental option given in recipe class:

https://github.com/kivy/python-for-android/pull/3180/files#diff-6aaa5c7168576825b0ac43915df1873d45e5594eee8189ec7c717cf89bcfe400R178-R184

Does 3.14t has some special android support?

And regarding adding them to the test workflow, we can’t do that just yet, since other recipes still need to be ported to PyProjectRecipe; otherwise, they will fail on Python 3.13 and above.

Python 3.14 (the π version) was released 30 minutes ago.

I would feel more comfortable about this if GitHub Actions tests were being run.

python-for-android/.github/workflows/push.yml

Line 39 in 3c5b66d

python-version: ['3.8', '3.9', '3.10', '3.11']

-->

        python-version: ['3.8', '3.9', '3.10', '3.11', '3.12', '3.13', '3.14', '3.14t']

Perhaps bumping python3 & hostpython3 to 3.14 would be great?

@kuzeyron Maybe another PR for that as other recipes need to be updated to support python 3.14.

Currently errors like this occur:

Distutils was removed in recent python versions.
Fix is to switch to PyProjectRecipe and update version of every failing recipe.

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'setuptools'

Setuptools has some parts of distutils left in it, so `pip install setuptools; python_version>="3.13" might be a short-term solution.

@cclauss But distutils import will still fail as it is hardcoded in setup.py files.

uv run --python=3.14 --with=setuptools setup.py

In general, we want to move away from setup.py and toward pyproject.toml.

We also want to drop six which is deprecated because Python 2 died long ago (1/1/2020).
