> What is the minimal Python version for developing CPython? The system Python > 3 on current Ubuntu LTS (18.04) is 3.6, so I think it should not be larger. Ah, I think my previous message had an ambiguous parse: the earliest that *uses* of the typing module appeared in the stdlib was 3.7. The typing module has been around longer than that. I just checked and `python3.6 Tools/unicode/makeunicodedata.py` works fine, both at master and with GH-15248. I think it would be OK for doing development on CPython to require the latest minor version (i.e. 3.7) -- after all, if you're doing development, you're already building it, so you can always get a newer version than your system provides if needed. But happily the question is moot here, so I guess the place to discuss that further would be a new thread. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue37760> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
