Update pytype to 2024.10.11 - #12778

Looks like pytype dropped support for Python 3.8 and 3.9 in google/pytype@3537a44. Maybe we could solve this by only installing pytype for the specific pytype job in CI, though it'll be a shame if that means that we no longer get automated dependency updates from renovate (because it'll no longer be in requirements-tests.txt)

Oops. Yes, that's right. In an attempt to make pytype easier to maintain we dropped support for older Python versions (3.8 and 3.9). We didn't realize those are still actively tested against in typeshed.

We could add and python_version >= "3.10" to pytype in requirements-tests.txt. Would that help?

Very reasonable! A lot of this comes as a result of typeshed trying to install all of its test dependencies into a single environment. There's good reasons for doing it that way (mostly simplicity!) but it also naturally causes issues.

Yes, I think that should work!

The stubtest failure is unrelated

No worries. We're still new to the Python ecosystem. This is all a good learning experience. 🙂

Thanks for the quick response!
