I assume you are OK with the removal of python 3.5 (EOL Sept 2020)
and 3.6 (EOL Dec 2021)?
(I'm still dealing with cleaning up the final pieces of python27
detritus, but these should hopefully be much smaller tasks)
nothing should depend from 3.5
not sure for 3.6
I've automated some of the analysis I was doing for python2 packages
and the results are now available at [1].
So yeah, it looks like nothing uses 3.5.
I've removed some 3.4 detritus, and 3.5
[...]
There are just a couple of packages using 3.6, I guess I'll ping the
maintainers about those.

It looks like the situation with 3.6 is a bit more complex, as some
things have a generic python3 dependency, rather than python36 as they
should, so that report isn't complete.
I have some tools to correct those dependencies, so the situation should
become clearer after I run those...
Marco,
Well, I managed to reduce that list a bit before I forgot all about
that, but it still has a fair amount of stuff on it.
Probably time to move on doing the same for later python versions. I
guess to start with I'll make python36 unavailable for new
installations. Maybe also 37? and 38? If you think that's a good idea?
That might also help identify if there's anything on that list that's
actually being used.
