Drop Python 3.3 support #27

Closed alorence closed 5 years ago

alorence commented 5 years ago

Python 3.3.0 was released on September 29th, 2012 and has now reached its end-of-life. More and more python libraries and packages drop its support. Django requires Python 3.4 since version 1.9, setuptools from version 40.0.0.

It became difficult to maintain support for Python 3.3, so django-modern-rpc will require 3.4.

Python 3.4 itself is EOL on 2019-03-16.

And Django 2.1 and 2.2 support Python 3.5+.

You are right. But django-modern-rpc is still installed by users in a Python 3.4 environment (according to https://pypistats.org/packages/django-modern-rpc). This is not the case for 3.3:

And since supporting 3.4 currently doesn't require additional attention, I don't see any valid reason to drop its support for now. This will probably change in the future, if at some point other dependencies drop 3.4 support.
