Python updates

[tcmbackwards]

Proposal

Python 3.10.11 is 22 months old and has numerous security vulnerabilities. In issue 801 you said you were planning on either upgrading Python in packages or allowing for manual upgrades, please prioritize this. Those of us on managed systems are increasingly unable to use Stability Matrix due to these vulnerabilities.

This is the most urgent matter.
I think I'm going to stop using the matrix because of the python version.

Same here. Can't use Forge Neo cause python version is too old, and there is no way to update it for Stability Matrix as far as I know. 5070 TI. I can't even update Forge Neo anymore.

Hey — not going to sign up for a paid FOSSA plan to sign a CLA for a contribution like this. The fix is here if you want it, feel free to cherry-pick or apply it directly.
Happy to help but not going to pay for the privilege. If the CLA process is blocking other contributors too, might be worth revisiting the setup.

PR: #1543

Cheers.

This hasn't been a problem since v2.15.0. Guess I forgot to close this issue, sorry. See comments on your PR.
