Compatibility¶

This page defines the supported and tested environments for SpindleX v1 planning.

Python Versions¶

SpindleX supports Python 3.9 through 3.13.

This matches package metadata and the Linux compatibility matrix. Python 3.11 is the primary CI and release tooling version.

Operating Systems¶

SpindleX is intended to be OS independent at the library layer.

OS independent does not mean every operating-system SSH setup is validated. It means the runtime library avoids platform-specific assumptions where practical.

SSH Server Compatibility¶

Current integration validation uses Docker-backed OpenSSH and Dropbear services. Compatibility claims should name the server family and version or image when recorded.

Known-compatible reports should include:

• SpindleX version
• Python version
• operating system
• server family and version
• authentication method
• affected API or CLI
• minimal reproduction or confirming test

Unsupported Features and Known Incompatibilities¶

Use this format for known incompatibilities:

Current unsupported or limited areas:

• universal compatibility with legacy or appliance-specific SSH behavior
• production use of unknown-host auto-acceptance policies
• unsupported or disabled legacy algorithms listed in Algorithms

Report Handling¶

Repeated compatibility reports should become one of:

• a regression test
• a Docker or canary validation target
• a known incompatibility entry
• an update to the public support boundary
