Caleb Rackliffe updated CASSANDRA-19467:
----------------------------------------
Description:
In 4.0, we introduced Python 3.6 support. In CASSANDRA-19245, for the 5.0
release, we dropped Python 3.6 and 3.7 support since Python 3.8 was the minimum
supported version for version 3.29.0 of the Python driver, which we needed to
support vectors. Unfortunately, that may break existing users of RHEL 7, which
natively only supports Python 3.6.
We should deprecate Python 3.6-3.7 (which are all either EOL or will be soon)
and mention this in NEWS.txt/appropriate warnings at {{cqlsh}} startup, but we
don't need to have cqlsh refuse to start entirely with 3.6-3.7 until our 6.0
release.
