Version 1.21.0 of the Benchling SDK makes changes to Python version compatibility, and fixes a type hint.

What’s Changing?

Changed

• Python 3.8 is no longer supported.
• Tests now verify compatibility with Python 3.13. The previous release was already compatible with 3.13, but this is now enforced in CI.

Fixed

• In benchling_sdk.apps.helpers.webhook_helpers.verify(), the type annotation for the headers parameter was changed from dict to Mapping[str, Any] to indicate that the parameter can be any dict-like object (such as the Headers class in Flask) rather than only a dict. The function always allowed this, but the annotation was misleading.
