# `ancient-python-version-field`

The control fields `Python-Version` and `Python3-Version` show the Python versions your package supports, but the Python version listed here predates the current "oldstable" distribution. There is no need to list it.

Please drop or update the named version.

When removing a version, please check `debian/rules` and `debian/tests/*` for any use of `py3versions -r`. Without a `Python3-Version` field, that program falls back to all supported versions, which may not be what you want.

Severity: | `warning`
Experimental: | `false`
