Drop Python 2.7 support, minimum version Python 3.7 #83

Closed Breakthrough closed 2 years ago

Breakthrough commented 2 years ago

Supporting both Python 2 and 3 is becoming a burden on the project, and in general, Python 3.x provides better performance. The stats on Pypi only indicate 1-2 daily downloads for Python 2.7 versus other versions, so DVR-Scan v1.4 may be the last release, aside from critical bugfixes, with Python 2.7 support.

The new planned minimum version for Python will be 3.6.

If you are still a Python 2.7 or 3.5/3.6 user, I would love to hear from you and understand any of your thoughts/concerns and come up with a migration plan.

Edit: Bumped version from 3.6 to 3.7 since 3.6 is already EOL.

The next release, DVR-Scan v1.5, will only support Python 3.7+.
