Dealing with this currently in a giant old legacy python 2.7 codebase that was migrated to 3.10 in the past year. I do see the requirement @ 3.12, is there a specific reason for this that wouldn't be available to 3.10?

It relies on some features introduced in Python 3.12, specifically the `sys.monitoring` API.

However, the resulting type annotations should work for Python 3.9+.
