Description
processing_pyo3 / mewnala declares support for Python 3.10: https://github.com/processing/libprocessing/blob/1d5d4624fbb418d456af36fbef3bf542e2f07cc2/crates/processing_pyo3/pyproject.toml#L18
Python 3.10 is not actively supported since April 2023 and the security support will be ending in October 2026: https://endoflife.date/python
Considering mewnala is a relatively new project and has no worries for backward compatibility, I believe supporting Python 3.10 doesn't worth the effort and it can be dropped easily.
As an extra resource, dropping Python 3.10 complies with
Support for Python versions be dropped 3 years after their initial release.
