Hi Hackers,

Most of the new python packages have started to drop support for Python 3.4. It is not going to have any new release per - https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3410/#:~:text=10%20was%20released%20on%20March,new%20releases%20will%20be%20made.
If we continue supporting 3.4 then we're stuck with current versions of packages. Most importantly, we will miss the security fixes in the latest versions of the packages.

I suggest, pgAdmin should drop support for 3.4 and support only python 3.5 and above.

   End of life dates for Python versions, so eventually Python 3.5 also reached EOL

  • Python 3.4: reached End Of Life
  • Python 3.5: security fixes only, no bug fixes will be provided; End Of Life: 2020-09-13
  • Python 3.6: security fixes only, no bug fixes will be provided; End Of Life: 2021-12-23
  • Python 3.7: security fixes AND bug fixes will be provided; End Of Life: 2023-06-27
  • Python 3.8: security fixes AND bug fixes will be provided; End Of Life: 2024-10
