Python Versioning Information

[manishvenu]

Details:
VisualCaseGen was capped at 3.11 because of weird import logic issue in land prep stage, see the error below. It has to do with the way six is importing in the CLM/CESM. For some reason six is manually overwritten in CLM so you can bad issues in new versions of python that don't use that version of six. As such, it was fixed a couple years ago by Sam. I'm trying to see if VisualCaseGen will work with never versions of CESM that fix this.

It works now with beta07 & python3.14! You need to add a lon_type argument to the fsurdat_modifier part, see the fix in the PR: #34

The error:
LandGridMode fsurgat modifier
