    Neither of those are supported, as documented.

    Sorry but, where is it documented? I can't find it in the wiki.

    Also, are there any plans to support them?

    I found it - Per https://pythonnet.github.io/: "Python.NET is currently compatible and tested with Python releases 3.7 - 3.11"

    Actually, 3.12 is supported, I have adjusted the homepage. The PR for 3.13 is #2454 but it's crashing on init right now.

    Now over one year later: is 3.14 supported yet?

    Not yet. According to the meta info https://pypi.org/project/pythonnet/. Currently requires: Python <3.14, >=3.7.
    I try on 3.14, it either fail at import step or addReference step in different Win11 machines.
    3.13 works fine.
