Issue or Suggestion Description

When i tried to install esp-idf-kconfig on a computer with python 3.13.0, I got some errors. I checked pypi.org, and it notices me that the package only supports python 3.8-3.12. As python 3.13.0 was released on Oct. 7, 2024 and became the latest version ,I think it would be nice to add support. Thank you.

Hi @MuRongPIG. We haven't updated yet the list on pypi.org. That by itself doesn't mean it is not supported.

Can you share the full error logs you've encountered?

ERROR: Cannot install esp-idf-kconfig==1.4.2 and esp-idf-kconfig==1.4.3 because these package versions have conflicting dependencies.

The conflict is caused by:
    esp-idf-kconfig 1.4.3 depends on windows-curses; platform_system == "Windows"
    esp-idf-kconfig 1.4.2 depends on windows-curses; platform_system == "Windows"

To fix this you could try to:
1. loosen the range of package versions you've specified
2. remove package versions to allow pip to attempt to solve the dependency conflict

the full logs are here. maybe the problem is not from this package;however,as a beginner,i have no idea. sorry for the inconvenience.

[dobairoland]

It looks that the given issue is cased by zephyrproject-rtos/windows-curses#69.

[Honza0297]

Agree with @dobairoland . Until the issue is fixed in windows-curses, I suggest using Python 3.12 (or lower) or unix-based OS (linux, macOS), where this issue is not present.
