Library ttkwidgets==0.12.0 automatically installed under Python 2

[namruf15]

WHAT: Library ttkwidgets==0.12.0 automatically installed under Python 2 which fails the execution

WHY: Lack of python_requires record within setup.py

SOLUTION Add _pythonrequires='>=3.6' into setup.py and blacklist the 0.12.0 version

LOGS:

ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1:

Well, that's embarrassing. Sorry about that!

I'm fixing it right now. I already yanked the release on PyPI and will make a 0.12.1 which has this specification included. I did remove the classifier, but forgot about this kwarg.

Thanks for quick reaction! How does the procedure for releasing new version to PyPi looks like? Still I can see that newest version hasn't been released and version 0.11.0 is at the top.

I've been away for a few days, but in the meantime I have uploaded 0.12.1 to PyPI and it should be installable for Python 3 users.

The procedure that I currently do is as follows:

• Make a new commit 'Bump version number to vX.X.X`
• Tag that commit
• Push, then wait for CI to complete successfully
• Run the tests locally
• Create an sdist package, install it and do a sanity check of the sdist with a project that makes use of a couple of widgets from the package
• Finally, upload the package to PyPI with twine

As Python 2 is EOL, I won't be providing new releases for Python 2 users. I hope this answers all your questions, but don't hesitate to post again if it doesn't!
