The pywinpty package files on Pypi do not have the metadata for the supported Python versions or the dependent packages.

I am aware that the pyproject.toml file specifies them:

[project]
requires-python = ">=3.6"

[build-system]
requires = ["maturin"]
build-backend = "maturin"

but somehow it happens that the packages on Pypi miss that.

The place where that metadata would normally be is the METADATA file in the .whl archives, and the PKG-INFO file in the source archive. That is also where pip picks it up from.

It is good practice to have that information in packages on Pypi, and besides that, the missing metadata causes installation errors on older Python versions.
