[Slackbuilds-users] upgraded python

A number of python packages I have looked at recently have dropped 
support for python 3.9, e.g. rich 4.0.0 What is the policy regarding 
providing an upgraded package provided by Slackware? I know in the past 
I have seen newer versions of Qt on SBo. I installed python 3.14 quite 
awhile ago. It lives happily next to 3.9. I just modified the Slackware 
script but I could get it into, I think, the right form for submission 
here. If it wouldn't pass though I don't want to spend the time to do it.

Part of my reason for asking is that I am working a project that I think 
would be of use here but it uses 3.14 so it wouldn't work under "stock" 
15.0. Another consideration is that the current version listed in 
slackware-current/d is 3.12, but that may well be upgraded before the 
next release.
