Review: pywin32 Dependency Update (v310 → v311)

Summary

APPROVED - This is a safe, non-breaking dependency update from Dependabot.

The PR updates the pywin32 version constraint from >=310,<311 to >=310,<312, allowing pywin32 v311 (released 2025/07/14) to be installed.


Analysis

Change Overview

  • File: pyproject.toml:93
  • Change: pywin32>=310,<311pywin32>=310,<312
  • Scope: Windows-only dependency (sys_platform == 'win32')
  • Type: Minor version update (310 → 311)

SDK Usage of pywin32

The SDK uses pywin32 in two locations, both with limited scope:

  1. src/aignostics/utils/_gui.py:176 - GUI file picker for Windows drives

    import win32api
    drives = win32api.GetLogicalDriveStrings().split("\000")[:-1]
    • API used: win32api.GetLogicalDriveStrings()
    • Purpose: Display Windows drive letters in NiceGUI file picker
    • Risk: ✅ Low - stable API, unchanged in v311
  2. src/aignostics/third_party/showinfm/system/windows.py:9 - File explorer integration

    from win32com.shell import shell
    # Uses: shell.SHGetDesktopFolder(), shell.SHILCreateFromPath(), 
    #       shell.SHOpenFolderAndSelectItems()
    • API used: Shell COM interfaces
    • Purpose: Open Windows Explorer and select files
    • Risk: ✅ Low - COM interfaces are stable

pywin32 v311 Changelog Review

Key improvements in v311 (relevant to this SDK):

  • Fixed Access Violation crashes in Python 3.12 (mhammond#2467) - Critical for Python 3.12/3.13 support
  • Fixed memory leak with SafeArrays - Performance improvement
  • Better COM identifier support - Enhanced stability
  • Minimum Windows version: Windows 7 - SDK already requires Windows 10+

Breaking changes: ❌ None affecting SDK usage


CI/CD Status

  • Build Native Only: Passed (Windows build successful)
  • 🔄 CI/CD Pipeline: In progress (includes Windows tests on 3.11, 3.12, 3.13)
  • 🔄 Claude Code Review: This review

The CI pipeline will automatically test pywin32 v311 on Windows runners with all supported Python versions (3.11, 3.12, 3.13).


Checklist

  • Architecture Compliance: No architecture changes
  • Breaking Changes: None identified
  • Security: No security concerns (pywin32 is Windows-only, sandboxed)
  • Test Coverage: Existing tests sufficient (GUI/utils modules covered)
  • Documentation: No doc updates needed (internal dependency)
  • Conventional Commits: ✅ Commit follows convention
    chore(deps): update pywin32 requirement from <311,>=310 to >=310,<312
    
  • Medical Device Impact: None (Windows GUI utility only)
  • Backward Compatibility: Maintained (v310 still supported)

Recommendation

✅ Approve and merge after CI pipeline passes.

Rationale:

  1. Python 3.12/3.13 stability: v311 fixes critical crashes in Python 3.12, which SDK supports
  2. Memory leak fixes: Improves performance for SafeArray operations
  3. Low risk: SDK uses only stable, basic pywin32 APIs (drive enumeration, shell operations)
  4. Automated testing: CI pipeline validates on Windows with all Python versions
  5. Conventional commit: Follows chore(deps): pattern correctly
  6. Backward compatible: Maintains support for v310 (lower bound unchanged)

No action required - standard Dependabot update, safe to merge when CI passes.

OK, I won't notify you again about this release, but will get in touch when a new version is available. If you'd rather skip all updates until the next major or minor version, let me know by commenting @dependabot ignore this major version or @dependabot ignore this minor version. You can also ignore all major, minor, or patch releases for a dependency by adding an ignore condition with the desired update_types to your config file.

If you change your mind, just re-open this PR and I'll resolve any conflicts on it.
