> In 4.0, we introduced Python 3.6 support. In CASSANDRA-19245, for the 5.0 
> release, we dropped Python 3.6 and 3.7 support since Python 3.8 was the 
> minimum supported version for version 3.29.0 of the Python driver, which we 
> needed to support vectors. Unfortunately, that may break existing users of 
> RHEL 7, which natively only supports Python 3.6.
> We should deprecate Python 3.6-3.7 (which are all either EOL or will be soon) 
> and mention this in NEWS.txt/appropriate warnings at {{cqlsh}} startup, but 
> we don't need to have cqlsh refuse to start entirely with 3.6-3.7 until our 
> 6.0 release.
