Toolforge servers are currently running Python 3.5.3 which was release in Jan 2017. When trying to install some packages with pip, I get a deprecation warning.
List of steps to reproduce (step by step, including full links if applicable):
Create a venv and try to install the setuptools package:
python3 -m venv testenv source testenv/bin/activate pip install setuptools
What happens?:
Deprecation warning is shown:
DEPRECATION: Python 3.5 reached the end of its life on September 13th, 2020. Please upgrade your Python as Python 3.5 is no longer maintained. pip 21.0 will drop support for Python 3.5 in January 2021. pip 21.0 will remove support for this functionality.
What should have happened instead?:
Not sure; I guess we should have had a newer version of python available on Cloud servers?
