Greptile Overview

Greptile Summary

This PR updates Python version documentation from 3.9-3.10 to 3.13 only, updates Twitter references to X, and simplifies a pip installation comment. However, there's a critical inconsistency: the documentation now states "(version 3.13)" which implies Python 3.13 is the only supported version, but setup.py line 65 specifies python_requires=">=3.9, <4" which means the package actually supports Python 3.9 and later.

Key changes:

• Changed Python requirement from "3.9 through 3.10" to "3.13" in README and developer docs
• Updated social media link from Twitter to X
• Simplified comment from pip3.10 install to pip install in git_nox.py

Issue found:

• The documentation creates a misleading requirement that could prevent users with valid Python 3.9-3.12 installations from attempting to use Fides, even though the package would work fine for them. The documentation should accurately reflect the minimum supported version (3.9+) while recommending the latest tested version (3.13).

Confidence Score: 2/5

• This PR has documentation inconsistencies that will mislead users about Python version requirements
• While the changes are documentation-only and won't break functionality, they introduce misleading information that contradicts the actual package requirements. Users with Python 3.9-3.12 might incorrectly believe they cannot use Fides when the package actually supports their versions. This discrepancy between documentation and code needs to be resolved before merging.
• README.md and docs/fides/docs/development/overview.md both need Python version requirements corrected to reflect actual package support

Important Files Changed

Filename	Overview
README.md	Updated Python version requirement to 3.13, but conflicts with setup.py which allows 3.9+; also changed Twitter to X
docs/fides/docs/development/overview.md	Updated Python version requirement to 3.13, but conflicts with package's actual minimum requirement of 3.9+

Documentation states "(version 3.13)" which implies ONLY Python 3.13 is supported, but setup.py:65 shows python_requires=">=3.9, <4" which allows Python 3.9+. This creates a misleading requirement that could prevent users with valid Python versions from using Fides.

Suggested change

	* [Python](https://www.python.org/downloads/) (version 3.13)
	* [Python](https://www.python.org/downloads/) (version 3.9 or later, 3.13 recommended)

[greptile-apps]

Same issue - documentation states "(version 3.13)" which implies ONLY Python 3.13 is supported, but the actual package accepts Python 3.9+

Suggested change

	* __Python (version 3.13)__ - To simplify the installation experience and create a more stable Python installation that can be managed indepently, we recommend installing Python via Anaconda. The installer for Anaconda can be found [here](https://www.anaconda.com/download).
