Hey
I am trying to create a configuration to track the python version for our projects. Here is the configuration that I have tried so far:

{
        "customType": "regex",
        "fileMatch": [
          "pyproject.toml"
        ],
        "matchStrings": [
          "\\[tool.poetry.dependencies\\]\npython = \"(?<currentValue>.*)\""
        ],
        "depNameTemplate": "python/cpython",
        "registryUrlTemplate": "https://github.com",
        "datasourceTemplate": "github-tags",
        "versioningTemplate": "python"
      }

The Issue created in the repository shows no warnings but it is not showing the option to update to a newest python version.

It would be better for the poetry manager to update this instead of a custom manager. Please create a minimal reproduction so we can we if the poetry manager detects python version or not

[rarkins]

Yes, even just a pyproject.toml with only the python dependency would be best, and I don't think any lock file required.

Ok I will create the repo for the minimal reproduction
Thank you

Hey @rarkins
I created the repo for the example
https://github.com/ViniciusTaborda/renovate-python-min-example

With that I noticed two things:

• If I use the operator ^ in the python version, renovate does not shows the option to update to 3.12 (the version was set to ^3.11)
• If I do not use the ^ operator, renovate recognizes the python dependency and adds the option to update it in the Dependency Dashboard both for the customManager that I've created and for the normal poetry one.

The example repo is now configured as my original repo, with python set to ^3.11

Is this expected?

Thank you for your time!

[rarkins]

It's expected, but not ideal. See #28514

[rarkins]

Actually, it's not related to that and not a bug.

^3.11 means >= 3.11.0 < 4.0.0. All python 3.12.x versions satisfy this. See https://python-poetry.org/docs/dependency-specification/

Confirmed here:

             "deps": [
               {
                 "depName": "python/cpython",
                 "currentValue": "^3.11",
                 "datasource": "github-tags",
                 "versioning": "python",
                 "registryUrls": ["https://github.com/"],
                 "replaceString": "[tool.poetry.dependencies]\npython = \"^3.11\"",
                 "updates": [],
                 "packageName": "python/cpython",
                 "warnings": [],
                 "sourceUrl": "https://github.com/python/cpython",
                 "registryUrl": "https://github.com",
                 "currentVersion": "3.12.3"
               }
             ],

If you want to bump the value as soon as a new Python minor release is out I recommend you use 3.11 instead, so that you get updated to 3.12.

Hi there,

Get your discussion fixed faster by creating a minimal reproduction. This means a repository dedicated to reproducing this issue with the minimal dependencies and config possible.

Before we start working on your issue we need to know exactly what's causing the current behavior. A minimal reproduction helps us with this. Discussions without reproductions are less likely to be converted to Issues.

To get started, please read our guide on creating a minimal reproduction.

Good luck,

The Renovate team
