Hello everyone. Just for everyone to be aware - Python 3.7 life is about to end in ~ 2 months.
I prepared a (draft) PR to drop Python 3.7 support: https://github.com/apache/airflow/pull/30963 to see what it means and I got it to a green state rather quickly. I will keep rebasing it (the changes are rather automated and should be easy to keep up) but you can also see what kind of changes dropping Python 3.7 support involves (hint - dropping some compat code, mostly around async testing). If you want to review it and make comments - feel free - we have time to iterate on it The cut-off date is 27 Jun 2023 - this is when EOL for Python support ends - it's ~2 months away and I plan - according to our policies - to merge it right after. It means that if we do not release Airflow 2.7.0 in the next 2 months (we likely won't), Airflow 2.7.0 will be released with Python 3.8+ support only (and all providers released after that will also be Python 3.8+ only). The default docker image pushed for Airflow 2.7.0 will become Python 3.8+ as well. There are no changes for Airflow 2.6 -> the bug-fixes in 2.6 will continue using 3.7 and default image for all Airflow 2.6.* versions will be Python 3.7. Side comment - Cannot wait to be able to use the Walrus operator in Airflow finally :). J.
