From ff0c77b016a74d8c92d34acf16d67ca67e1222bb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jacob Champion Date: Thu, 24 Apr 2025 08:41:43 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Bump the minimum supported Python version to 3.6.8 Python 3.2 is no longer tested by the buildfarm, and there are only a handful of buildfarm animals running versions older than 3.6, which itself went end-of-life in 2021. Python 3.6.8 is the default version shipped in RHEL8, so that seems like a reasonable baseline for PG18. Now that we use the Python Limited API as of 0793ab810, older versions of Python should continue functioning for users of PL/Python in particular, so soften the language from "required" to "supported".
