## Python 3.5 support will be dropped in the next release
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The final [Python 3.5 release was 3.5.10 in September](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0478/#id4).
|
||
|
|
This release series is now End-of-Life (EOL). The only LTS distribution that
|
||
|
|
still only ships Python 3.5 is Ubuntu 16.04, which will be
|
||
|
|
[EOL in April 2021](https://ubuntu.com/about/release-cycle).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Python 3.6 has numerous features that we find useful such as improved support
|
||
|
|
for the `typing` module, f-string support, and better integration with the
|
||
|
|
`pathlib` module.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
As a result, we will begin requiring Python 3.6 or newer in Meson 0.57, which
|
||
|
|
is the next release. Starting with Meson 0.56, we now print a `NOTICE:` when
|
||
|
|
a `meson` command is run on Python 3.5 to inform users about this. This notice
|
||
|
|
has also been backported into the 0.55.2 stable release.
