Andrew Stitcher commented on PROTON-2668:
-----------------------------------------
[~robbie] is correct: we considered rhel8 and concluded that python3.8 is
available to install so there should be no bar to us setting the minimum
version of python to that.
Bear in mind that we still currently support 4 versions of python 3.8 3.9 3.10
and 3.11 that is quite a lot! Supporting 3.6-3.11 when 3.8/3.9 is available on
all systems of interest is a lot (and seems unnecessary)
Afaict any packages built using the non system versions of python will
necessarily have a dependency on that package anyway so installing the version
of proton using rpm into a container should pull in the correct python packages
anyway.

> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Andrew Stitcher

>
>
> We currently support Python 3.6 upwards; this is an old and unsupported
> version of python pretty much everywhere.
> In particular some of the CI systems no longer even have this version which
> is causing some build failures.
> Let's change the supported versions to be 3.8 and up which covers pretty much
> all supported LTS versions of Ubuntu (20.04, 22.04)
