tarfile filter='data' requires Python >= 3.10.12 #4

Description

@lcarva

Description

In verify.py:48, extract_sdist uses tar.extractall(dest, filter="data"). The filter parameter for tarfile.extractall was backported to Python 3.10.12+ and 3.11.4+ (originally added in 3.12 via PEP 706).

The project declares requires-python = ">=3.10" in pyproject.toml, but extract_sdist will crash with TypeError on Python 3.10.0 through 3.10.11.

Impact

Most users on 3.10 will have a recent patch version, but the stated compatibility is not fully accurate.

Suggested fix

Either:

  • Bump the minimum to >=3.10.12 in pyproject.toml
  • Add a runtime check / fallback for older patch versions
