This PR adds a warning note to the
CONTRIBUTING.mdfile.The Problem:
The "Environment Setup" guide recommends using
Python 3.11, but the.pre-commit-config.yamlfile requiresPython 3.10. This causespre-commit installto fail for new contributors who follow the instructions and only havePython 3.11.The Fix:
This note clarifies the discrepancy before the setup instructions. It advises contributors to either ensure
python3.10is also available on their PATH or simply usepython=3.10for their virtual environment to satisfy both requirements.Hi @TomeHirata , I've pushed the requested changes. Thanks!
