Thread: Drop support for Python 3.4 ?
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.
Thanks,
