This issue is a placeholder for discussing the drop of support for Python 3.4 and 3.5.

  • Python 3.4 will be EOLed on 2019-03-16.
  • Python 3.5 will be EOLed on 2020-09-13.

See Status of Python branches in the Python Developer's Guide.

What features in Python >= 3.6 could we implement by dropping either of these earlier versions? Please comment below.

Type annotations please. f strings may be worth it too... maybe.

Type annotations are backportable. I wouldn't drop 3.5 before the EOL date for sure because there are many server OSes in existence where the 3.5 is the default
