Most changes to Python require a NEWS entry. Add one using the blurb_it web app or the blurb command-line tool.

If this change has little impact on Python users, wait for a maintainer to apply the skip news label instead.

Please could you also add 3.13 to the triggers on line 1 of these files, and remove EOL 3.7?

Or can we use 3.* like in GitHub Actions?

cpython/.github/workflows/build.yml

Line 8 in d57f8a9

- '3.*'

It seems that Azure Pipelines doesnt support patterns like 3.*

Is ubuntu-24.04 available for Azure Pipelines yet?

ubuntu-22.04 is the latest at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/agents/hosted?view=azure-devops&tabs=yaml#software

Azure Pipelines

I think ubuntu-24.04 is available based on
actions/runner-images#9848

pool:
name: 'Azure Pipelines'
vmImage: 'ubuntu-24.04'

I have Azure Pipelines set up on my fork, but it errored with ubuntu-24.04:

##[error]No config name or imagelabel provided in request ,##[error]The remote provider was unable to process the request.

##[error]No config name or imagelabel provided in request
,##[error]The remote provider was unable to process the request

It looks like strange, let me check with this

[Damien-Chen]

It seems that Azure Pipeline currently does not support ubuntu-24.04. Maybe we can pend this until they release it ?

[hugovk]

Sure, do you want to mark this as a draft or close it and re-open later?

[Damien-Chen]

I prefered closed it. BTW, should I send another PR that only adding 3.13 to the trigger and remove EOL 3.7 based on previous suggestion ?

[hugovk]

Yes please! No issue needed for that.
