In #142248, I noticed that my script did not work in 3.13's CI, because it used Python 3.12 instead of 3.13 or later.
The problem is in 3.13's configure script. As noted by @hugovk, 3.13's configure only checks for Python 3.13 and below, so the Python 3.14 installation used by actions/setup-python is thrown away, and an old Python 3.12.3 copy that comes with the image is used instead.
This is quite unfortunate, because for CI tools, we have to either limit ourselves to 3.12 features or create slightly different scripts for each branch (which is not ideal for backporting). In my case, I used _colorize in the job that I added, but I would have to remove that usage on the 3.13 branch, which would make it very frustrating to edit the script without conflicts.
I see two good solutions:
Force the actions/setup-python job to install Python 3.13 instead of 3.14.
Use sys.version_info to control whether to import "_colorize":

The script only use a little of the module, so it is easy to realize a smallest implement.
Yeah, that's a band-aid solution, but more fundamentally, we should be able to use modern features in our CI. I would rather not clutter the code with extra branches for what is really a problem with our GHA.
