[Enhancement] Define Python Version Support #3

Closed BrianHGrant closed 5 years ago

BrianHGrant commented 5 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. We do not as an organization define which versions of Python we support.

If we plan to create re-usable packages which can be deployed to a package repository (ie pypi), then we will need to define for testing purposes.

Describe the solution you'd like I would propose we do not include support for python 2, due to EOL announcement and ~9 months left.

https://pythonclock.org/ https://python3statement.org/

This will help to simply dependencies code complexity

I would say we aim for all stable versions of python3.

This would be tested through running tests in tox environments.

We would document as part of a readme, contribution guidelines, then in the setup.py

Describe alternatives you've considered

We could support python2.7 but why unless we find a specific dependency (which we can research based on dependencies from last year projects), we may already be a defacto python3 org (https://github.com/hackoregon/backend-examplar-2018)

Explain how this feature relates to your Hack Oregon project scope.

This lends to a strategic goal of increasing standards in backend & api workflows

Agreement was made to use Python 3 only. Will confirm our repo is setup to reflect this
