I think this site is specifically keying in on the "Programming Language :: Python :: 3.11" PyPI classifier... While many packages haven't been updated to include this classifier, if you were to run all of the unit tests for all of the "Top 360" libraries on 3.11, I'd be willing to bet 350+ would pass without failure.

Many of the gray projects listed never even specify the minor number. Looking at setuptools, they only list Python :: 3.

If you go back to https://pyreadiness.org/3.8/ there are 20% of packages not explicitly supported, many from the top 100 list, anyone using these packages know this is not a concern. (Going back even further in versions you start to see dropped support instead)

Deducting these 20% should give a more accurate picture, and even then I’d bet most other packages work anyway, like you say.

Author here: yep.
