py-tvb-multiscale dependency on python@:3.10

The python version of the official ESD deployment in the EBRAINS Lab is now being updated to 3.11.10, so to be included, all packages must ensure compatibility with this version.

@dionperd @ldomide currently py-tvb-multiscale has a dependency on python@:3.10. Is this constraint accurate, or could we relax it to also include python@:3.11?

Additionally, 2 of py-tvb-multiscale's dependencies, ANNarchy and PySpike, also depend on python@:3.10.

• for ANNarchy, this can easily solved by adding a slightly more recent version, anything starting from 4.7.3 supports python@3.11. Do you have any preference on the specific version?
• for PySpike, setup.py still lists Python 3.10 as the highest supported. Do you know if that is accurate?

mentioned in merge request !632 (merged)

The actual code of tvb-multiscale is most probably compatible with python 3.11 I have no idea about the dependencies

Is it OK to just ...try it and remove the dependency? I am having some difficulties for the moment to test it on my own computer.

sure, I will try and let you know if there are any errors

Thanks!

tvb-multiscale depends heavily on NEST, and I see that even NEST 3.8 uses python3.10. Am I right?

I haven't managed to install NEST, neither 3.5, nor 3.8 with python 3.11, but I might be doing something wrong.

I did some testing on this in !645 (merged):

• new versions for py-ray and py-annarchy needed to be added
• py-pyspike had some issues with python@3.11 and py-cython@3 which are fixed on master but not on any released version. I temporarily added a master version but we should instead probably use a patch.
• py-tvb-multiscale tests pass with python@3.11 (pipeline here)
