Additionally, provide a legacy installation option via pip (`pip install codeanalyzer[legacy]`) to ensure backward compatibility for older Python environments.\n\n#### Proposed Changes:\n1. **Compatibility Updates**:\n   - Refactor codebase to ensure compatibility with Python 3.5+.\n   - Replace or conditionally handle features incompatible with Python 3.5 (e.g., type hints, f-strings).\n\n2. **Legacy Installation**:\n   - Add a `legacy` extra in pyproject.toml for dependencies compatible with Python 3.5.\n   - Ensure the `codeanalyzer[legacy]` installation includes all necessary adjustments for older environments.\n\n3. **Testing**:\n   - Set up CI pipelines to test compatibility across Python versions 3.5 to 3.12+.\n   - Include legacy-specific tests to verify functionality in older environments.\n\n#### CLI and Documentation Updates:\n- Update the README to reflect Python 3.5+ support and the legacy installation option.\n- Add examples for installing and using the legacy version:\n   ```bash\n   pip install codeanalyzer[legacy]\n   ```","author":{"url":"https://github.com/rahlk","@type":"Person","name":"rahlk"},"datePublished":"2025-07-16T01:56:56.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":1},"url":"https://github.com/17/codeanalyzer-python/issues/17"}
