Perhaps we should add a Raspbian builder if this is a platform of interest to Twisted users. (And I do think it should be.) Are there big / fast raspberry pi emulators so we don't need to wait for the test suite to run on such a slow / small machine? > On Feb 27, 2017, at 3:38 PM, Tom Most

Yes, this is what my Raspbian system reports: Python 3.4.2 (default, Oct 19 2014, 13:31:11) [GCC 4.9.1] on linux ---Tom On Fri, Feb 24, 2017 at 6:01 PM, Glyph Lefkowitz wrote: > > On Feb 24, 2017, at 3:29 PM, Tom Most wrote: > > On Thu, Feb 23,

Debian 9 (Stretch) is in final freeze and will become the new stable release very soon (a month or so?). By the time we drop 3.4 support, Stretch will be current stable, so my recommendation would be to upgrade to Stretch when it comes available, and use the Python 3.5 it ships with.

Dropping 3.3 makes sense, as does deprecating 3.4 The only thing I suggest/request is a webpage (and possibly txtfile in the source) that lists the supported Python versions. When people runs into issues, finding this info quickly is just so useful. e.g. Version

In general I'd say we should take into account LTS releases. OTOH Python 3 adoption is still rather low and tends toward newer versions with fast upgrading. There's deadsnakes and there's SC and there's Docker. I think it's totally fair to drop everything before 3.5 since that gives us nice

[Twisted-Python] Removing support for old Python 3 versions

2017-02-20 Thread Amber Brown
Hi everyone! Currently, Twisted supports five Python versions. These are 2.7, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, and now 3.6. This is more Python versions than Twisted has ever really supported in the past, and even though it is great to support a lot of runtimes, it is becoming a greater burden on Twisted to
