-//! This program dumps a remote Postgres database into a local Postgres database
-//! and uploads the resulting PGDATA into object storage for import into a Timeline.
-//!
-//! # Context, Architecture, Design
-//!
-//! See cloud.git Fast Imports RFC (<https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/pull/19799>)
-//! for the full picture.
-//! The RFC describing the storage pieces of importing the PGDATA dump into a Timeline
-//! is publicly accessible at <https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/9538>.
-//!
-//! # This is a Prototype!
-//!
-//! This program is part of a prototype feature and not yet used in production.
-//!
-//! The cloud.git RFC contains lots of suggestions for improving e2e throughput
-//! of this step of the timeline import process.
-//!
-//! # Local Testing
-//!
-//! - Comment out most of the pgxns in The Dockerfile.compute-tools to speed up the build.
-//! - Build the image with the following command:
-//!
-//! ```bash
-//! docker buildx build --build-arg DEBIAN_FLAVOR=bullseye-slim --build-arg GIT_VERSION=local --build-arg PG_VERSION=v14 --build-arg BUILD_TAG="$(date --iso-8601=s -u)"  -t localhost:3030/localregistry/compute-node-v14:latest -f compute/Dockerfile.com

 A single virtual environment with all dependencies is described in the single `Pipfile`.

 ### Prerequisites
- Install Python 3.11 (the minimal supported version) or greater.
+- Install Python 3.9 (the minimal supported version) or greater.
    - Our setup with poetry should work with newer python versions too. So feel free to open an issue with a `c/test-runner` label if something doesn't work as expected.
-    - If you have some trouble with other version you can resolve it by installing Python 3.11 separately, via [pyenv](https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv) or via system package manager e.g.:

+      sudo apt install python3.9

 - Install `poetry`
    - Exact version of `poetry` is not important, see installation instructions available at poetry's [website](https://python-poetry.org/docs/#installation).
 - Install dependencies via `./scripts/pysync`.
    - Note that CI uses specific Python version (look for `PYTHON_VERSION` [here](https://github.com/neondatabase/docker-images/blob/main/rust/Dockerfile))
      so if you have different version some linting tools can yield different result locally vs in the CI.

+    - You can explicitly specify which Python to use by running `poetry env use /path/to/python`, e.g. `poetry env use python3.9`.
      This may also disable the `The currently activated Python version X.Y.Z is not supported by the project` warning.

 Run `poetry shell` to activate the virtual environment.
