ADR: Python V2 support #67

Closed lucyb closed 3 months ago

lucyb commented 4 months ago

Write an ADR in this format to record that we're supporting the Python V2 Action image within the dev container environment and what the consequences of this decision are.

[!NOTE] Please read Michael Nygard's blog post about how to document an architecture decision first.

Rough Decision

We will provide a development environment for the latest version of the Python Action image, which is V2.

We will not provide a development environment for V1 of the Python Action image.

Rough Consequences

Only a very small number of researchers use Python to write custom actions at the moment, most of them use R, so we believe this will have a no, or a very minimal impact, on researchers.

We might need to provide documentation/support so that researchers are aware of this decision.
