Requirements
Pact Python tries to support all versions of Python that are still supported by the Python Software Foundation. Older version of Python may work, but are not officially supported.
In order to support the broadest range of use cases, Pact Python tries to impose the least restrictions on the versions of libraries that it uses.
Telemetry
In order to get better statistics as to who is using Pact, we collect some anonymous telemetry. The only things we record are your type of OS, and the version information for the package. No personally identifiable information is sent as part of this request. You can disable telemetry by setting the environment variable PACT_DO_NOT_TRACK=1:
Contributing
We welcome contributions to the Pact Python library in many forms. There are many ways to help, from writing code, to providing new examples, to writing documentation, to testing the library and providing feedback. For more information, see the contributing guide.
