Test against python 3.9 #226
Conversation

Very nice, thanks! I put this on my list to review soon(*). (*) Might not be really soon. |
|
This is superceded by #229 , but I'll leave this open for the time being as it's a less drastic change. |
|
I reverted the 3.9 addition to that PR, and so will open a fresh one once that's merged. |

Any particular reason to stop testing 3.5? It's EOL at Python.org but some long-term-support distros might still support it.
Of course, enabling f-strings counts as a good reason ;-)

Personal preference, I suppose! The more EOL it is, the more awkward development is; more supported versions means more tests to run, and so on. We can be part of the pressure encouraging people/distros to use modern, secure versions, rather than enabling those who don't want to. I am about to make a new PR to supersede this which also drops 3.6 (also EOL).

Superseded by #242 |
A very minor update to be pushed through the CI sausage machine.
