I just wanted to ask whether it would be okay to flag python versions before 3.12 as incompatible for these packages.
The thing is, they are compatible with earlier versions in that they build and install just fine, but they actually do nothing, because the standard asyncore and asynchat of those python versions will be used.

Marking the py-pyasync* packages as incompatible as suggested (and currently in wip) means any package using these deprecated funtcions must conditionally depend on one or both of those packages. Which seems fair enough…

So, if anyone has objections against that plan, please speak up.

Cheers
