The only LTS distribution that +still ships Python 3.5 as the default Python is Ubuntu 18.04, which has Python +3.8 available as well. + +Python 3.7 has various features that we find useful such as future annotations, +the importlib.resources module, and dataclasses. + +As a result, we will begin requiring Python 3.7 or newer in Meson 0.62, which +is the next release. Starting with Meson 0.61, we now print a `NOTICE:` when +a `meson` command is run on Python 3.6 to inform users about this. |
