Michael Semb Wever commented on CASSANDRA-19467:
------------------------------------------------
This following isn't working with the patch yet
{code}
python_version=3.6 .build/docker/run-tests.sh cqlsh-test
{code}
as it gives the following
{noformat}
update-alternatives: error: alternative /usr/bin/python3.6 for python not
registered; not setting
{noformat}
so the default of python3.8 will be used.
> Deprecate Python 3.7 and earlier, but allow cqlsh to run with Python 3.6+

> 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.
