Do you have a plan to drop python < 3.7

[mangin]

Hey there,
I tried to find any discussion about it in your issues, but didn't find.

The reason why maybe we should do it:

1. python < 3.7 are not maintained anymore.
2. and some of libraries like wheel stops to support deprecated pythons.

virtualenv/src/virtualenv/seed/wheels/embed/__init__.py

Line 40 in ebbccec

"wheel": "wheel-0.37.1-py2.py3-none-any.whl",

3.7 EOL is 2023-06-27, which is not yet here. But virtualenv supports EOL pythons for another 1.5 years. So no plans to drop it anytime soon.

Good to know, thx

What's about python 3.6, 3.5 and 2.7?

if i understand your life cycle correctly you can drop 3.5 (Support ended 2 years and 6 months ago ) and 2.7 (Support ended 3 years ago ). But you still should support 3.6 for 3 months (Ended 1 year and 2 months ago )

Yes. We haven't dropped support for those purely because I didn't get to it. But will do at some point soon-ish.

This is done.
