Steve Dower <steve.do...@python.org> added the comment: Adding Łukasz for his RM opinion on Win7 support for 3.8.
According to PEP 11, we've already dropped support for Win7 without Service Pack 1. Win7 SP1 would be dropped ~2-3 months after 3.8 releases, which means we still have to support it for all of 3.8. My concern is the KB2533623 I mentioned in the original post, which adds the ability to control the search path properly. I *think* it might be already included in Win7 SP1, in which case we're fine (I'm confirming this with some colleagues), but if it's optional on top of SP1 then I want to make it required for Python. Alternatively, I'm totally happy to make a three month exception to PEP 11 and just drop Win7 completely for 3.8. But I think that needs to be made official as early as possible, and should get python-dev exposure. Łukasz - thoughts? (Yes, I incorrectly typed the KB number at the top. Apparently I regularly fail to type numbers into bpo for some reason... doesn't happen elsewhere?) ---------- nosy: +lukasz.langa _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue36085> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
