<!-- Answer --> The root cause is that the devcontainer installs Python 3.14, but the base image (Debian Bullseye or Bookworm) only provides Python header libraries up to 3.9 or 3.11, which are EOL and incompatible with the latest Python. This breaks Python bindings development, especially since the project targets the abi3-py311 ABI and has officially moved to Python 3.11 as the base version for bindings going forward [[source](https://github.com/apache/opendal/issues/4624)][[discussion](https://github.com/apache/opendal/discussions/4625)]. To work around this without changing the base image (which could have broad impact), pin the Python version in the devcontainer to 3.11 and update the `uv` configuration to match. This can be done by installing Python 3.11 explicitly (for example, using `pyenv` or by adding installation steps in the Dockerfile) and ensuring that `just` and `uv` use this version for all Python-related tasks. This aligns with the project's current support policy and should resolve the missing header issue. Changing the base image is a larger change and would require thorough testing across the monorepo, so pinning Python 3.11 is the safest immediate fix. <!-- Dosu Comment Footer --> *To reply, just mention [@dosu](https://go.dosu.dev/dosubot).* --- <sup>How did I do?
