Win7 compatibility for future releases #24

Hi team. Recent builds of non-portable streamlink for windows (2.4.0 and above) are dropped win7 support. Is it true, that future versions of portable streamlink will still work on win7?

beardypig commented 3 years ago

The current version of Python used for the portable version is 3.7.9. This will be maintained as long as possible, if a Python 3.8 or Python 3.9 only feature is used in streamlink this will not be possible and streamlink-portable will be updated to the next lowest possible Python version. However, I will not be applying patches to streamlink to maintain Windows 7 support.

tldr; Win7 support will be maintained as long as possible.

You are the best (the only thing I can answer to this)! Keep up the good work

I have to set it up to build with the latest versions of Python 3.6, 3.7, 3.8 and 3.9 that have Windows builds available - so you can chose which version of Python suits you best.
