Bryant Biggs commented on AIRFLOW-3426:
---------------------------------------
Yes I agree - the differences between 3.4-3.6 are quite minimal. However, would
it be a good idea to explicitly take on the maintainability of that supported
version and the associated additional risks by stating the verision is
supported when it is not tested (the tests are laboriously long as is)?
Look, the project is fantastic and widely used. However, I think for continued
success and progress there should be some conservatism in the dependencies of
the project in order to allow it to move forward. I don't have the numbers, but
I would be willing to place a significant wager on the the basis that the vast
majority of Airflow instances running today are running under either 2.7 or 3.6
(above 80% of the popultation I would suspect). Now, if you throw in 3.5, that
would be marginally higher I suspect - those running on 3.4 would be in a
severe minority group (all beliefs, I do not have numbers to back up). In my
opinion, I would limit the scope of dependencies explicitly and any obscure
edge cases for those users who *wish to run a version that is not explicitly
supported, those will have to be dealt with by those users locall.
I can go either way but it is extremely frustrating to see the lack of progress
on Airflow when the community is trying hard to move it along. To me, this
change is trivial and potentially helps the project shed a vestigial dependency

> Project: Apache Airflow
> Issue Type: Task
> Components: Documentation
> Affects Versions: 1.9.0, 1.10.0, 1.10.1
> Environment: All
> Reporter: Bryant Biggs
> Assignee: Bryant Biggs
> Priority: Trivial
> Labels: documentation, easyfix, newbie
> Fix For: 1.10.1
>
> Original Estimate: 1h
> Remaining Estimate: 1h
>
> The current CI tests on Travis use Python version 2.7 and 3.5, however
> throughout the documentation there are still references to using/supporting
> 3.4. To better match what is actually supported, the 3.4 references should be
> replaced with what is actually being tested, 3.5
