Supporting Python 3.5 #211

Closed Abdur-rahmaanJ closed 2 years ago

Abdur-rahmaanJ commented 2 years ago

Greetings,

Is there any major blocker for not supporting Python 3.5?

Abdur-rahmaanJ commented 2 years ago

Here is a demo with all issues ironed out but i still get errors as to the package target does not exist ImportError: No module named <package name>

Hi @Abdur-rahmaanJ,

My only motivation for excluding 3.5 support was that I wanted to use the type hint syntax introduced in 3.6, I'm actually considering dropping support for 3.6 as well now given that it's been almost 5 months since it reached EOL.

For those reasons, I don't anticipate we will be supporting 3.5 in the future.
