Alan Boudreault commented on CASSANDRA-15659:
---------------------------------------------
Hello,
That makes sense Patrick. I think Python 3.6 is a good choice for the official
python3 supported version. And it´s correct to only run dtests with this
version. However, I think also it would be better to relax the requirement for
the different distributions (removing the strong check). All Python3 versions
can be supported at *best effort*. So my suggestion:
1. Remove the strong python 3.6 requirement check
2. Do some manual testing to ensure we can at least connect to a cluster and
execute queries with all py3 runtimes.
3. Fix obvious issues if there are.
4. (optional) add a simple smoke test in dtest that is run for all runtimes.
I am going to check when I could try to help with the python3 support.

> As of today (24/3/2020) and current trunk, there is Python 3.6 supported (1)
> but there is not any 3.6 version ootb in Debian for example. E.g. Buster has
> Python 3.7 and other (recent) releases have version 2.7. This means that if
> one wants to use Python 3 in Debian, he has to use 3.6 but it is not in the
> repository so he has to download / compile / install it on his own.
> There should be some sane Python 3 version supported which is as well present
> in Debian repository (or requirement to run with 3.6 should be relaxed) .
