Description (last modified by itamarst)

  1. Python 3.6 is end-of-life, it will not be getting security updates.
  2. Ubuntu 20.04 and RHEL8 provide Python 3.9 packages. I think Ubuntu 18.04 might provide Python 3.7 too? But 22.04 will be out soon, people should really upgrade.
  3. 3rd party libraries are starting to drop Python 3.6 support as a result.
