Background
A developer questionnaire document stated Python 3.5 is supported by the Scalekit SDK. A customer on Python 3.5.6 checked the public SDK and found it requires Python 3.8+, creating a confusing contradiction.
During support, they were directed to a private lite SDK (scalekit-inc/scalekit-sdk-python-lite) that wraps the REST APIs and supports Python 3.5+ with limited functionality (no gRPC, no automatic retries).
Issues to resolve
1. Questionnaire / external document accuracy
The Notion-based questionnaire shared during sales/onboarding states Python 3.5 support. This needs to be corrected to Python 3.8+ or removed. Owner: whoever manages the security questionnaire template.
2. Python SDK docs missing version requirement
src/content/docs/agentkit/sdks/python/index.mdx has no mention of minimum Python version. It should prominently state Python 3.8+ in the install section.
3. Decision needed: lite SDK documentation
A private lite SDK exists (scalekit-sdk-python-lite) for Python 3.5 environments. Currently it is shared on a case-by-case basis. Options:
- Document it publicly as a supported path for legacy Python environments (adds maintenance burden)
- Keep it internal / ad-hoc and update the questionnaire to direct Python <3.8 users to contact support
- Deprecate it and direct users to call the REST API directly for legacy Python environments
Suggested quick wins (no decision needed)
- Add
Python 3.8+ requirement to the install section of src/content/docs/agentkit/sdks/python/index.mdx
- Add a note pointing Python <3.8 users to contact support
