+Update (2024-09-05): Unfortunately Python 3.13 does not allow `mypy[python2]==0.971` to be installed.
+
+Trying to install it results in the following error:

+```
+
+This is because starting with version 3.13.0a6 `PyFutureFeatures` was moved to an internal header and made private. Breaking installation for all future releases.
+
+This means 3.12 is the last version to allow installation of `mypy[python2]==0.971`, so we will be covered till October 2028.
