Support Python 3.14

[EwoutH]

Support Python 3.14.

Work in progress

Closes #1107.

[EwoutH]

@maartenbreddels I don't have time to debug this further. #1107 is fixed, but #1109 isn't yet. Feel free to work further on this PR branch, or merge it.

I would highly recommend prioritizing this, since Python 3.14 stable is already released.

For next year, I recommend using the release candidate period to find such bugs in new Python versions. For Python 3.15, this period starts July 28th, 2026.

@maartenbreddels any chance you or someone from your team can work on Python 3.14 support?

[maartenbreddels]

Integration tests are failing locally with:

>   class StepKwds(TypedDict, closed=True, total=False):  # type: ignore[call-arg]
E   TypeError: _TypedDictMeta.__new__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'closed'

../../../miniconda3/envs/dev314/lib/python3.14/site-packages/altair/vegalite/v5/schema/_config.py:6491: TypeError

This is an indication that we are a bit early with 3.14 support.

Unittests are passing locally.

[maartenbreddels]

We'll have to wait for a 3.14 release from altair I think vega/altair#3895

Not sure why this is experimental

[EwoutH]

Thanks for looking into this, appreciated!

Maybe we can merge the fixes we already have in place (such at 103fe3f for #1107)?

[maartenbreddels]

Ah yes, i'm all for integrating the fixes, before officially "supporting 3.14".
Do you want to cherry-pick that fix into a new branch, so we can continue in this branch to get everything working?

[EwoutH]

Done, see #1123.

[EwoutH]

altair 6.0.0 Is now released with Python 3.14 support.

[EwoutH]

Any update on Python 3.14 support?

[EwoutH]

Since this PR is not moving forward, shall I close it?

[maartenbreddels]

No, why close it?
