Description Pierre Ossman cendio 2025-04-01 16:19:54 CEST 
We should raise our Python requirement so that we can make use of new features. The current requirement (Python 3.4.4) is lower than needed for currently interesting distributions.
Comment 1 Pierre Ossman cendio 2025-04-02 12:26:32 CEST 
Oldest interesting distributions, and their Python version:

RHEL 8: 3.6.8
Ubuntu 22.04: 3.10.6
Debian 11: 3.9.2
SLES 15: 3.6.15
Comment 4 Pierre Ossman cendio 2025-04-02 16:05:22 CEST 
I think I found everything that should be updated. Tested that tl-setup still starts, and that the automatic tests don't complain.
