Because it has now got features like f-strings involved in the code. Examples:

https://github.com/scrapinghub/hcf-backend/blob/67f066516f02e548ec4a5c8c7dab6cc876304ed5/hcf_backend/utils/hcfpal.py#L18

Yes, it only supports 3.6 and further. Many of the requirements has anyway the same 'limitation'. I have to update the targets in setup.py.

Thanks a lot @kalessin :) May I have a further question please? Have we got some indicator for the latest version that was still targeted to Python 2.7? Asking because we've got old projects (residing in Python 2) that might make use of some newly introduced features.
