Retire python3.5
Summary
The 
python3.5
Owner
- Name: Miro Hrončok
- Email: mhroncok@redhat.com
Current status
- Targeted release: Fedora 35
- Last updated: 2021-01-15

Detailed Description
The
Ubuntu 16.04 “Xenial Xerus” LTS standard support ends in April 2021. Debian 9 “Stretch” LTS is End of Life in 2022-06. This very roughly corresponds with the Fedora 34 EOL. Hence, we decided to retire (completely remove)
Feedback
This was announced on the Python list prior to submitting the change proposal: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/python-devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/ITX7QFF6CLBOOAPE4RA52QTGPMEL5QII/
There was no pushback.
Benefit to Fedora
The maintenance of Python 3.5 was getting harder and harder every year. The support for Python 3.5 has disappeared from pip and setuptools, and an older version of pip/setuptools has to be bundled in
There is no direct benefit here, except that we don't want to maintain it anymore and we don't think it's a good idea either.
Consider this change proposal a louder orphaning, except that we will continue to maintain the package in older released and supported Fedoras (33 and 34). If you wish to continue maintaining Python 3.5 in Fedora, please speak to us first.
