Supported python versions #79

Open jurgenwigg opened 1 year ago

jurgenwigg commented 1 year ago

Hi, what is the target list of supported python versions? What is the lowest python version to be supported? I'm asking, because in the source code I see some places that could be refactored but it will drop support for any python 2.x.

I'm still targeting Python 2.7 as well as Python 3.X. The Python Software Foundation keeps claiming that it's "end of life" but real-world organizations have Python2 as their sole version of Python. That will eventually end, but the Python 2->3 transition was not well-handled and I'm trying to be supportive of users who didn't ask for unnecessary problems.
