Though it's likely not worth testing both 32 and 64 bit pythons on windows. -Bill On Fri, May 25, 2018 at 4:44 PM, Bill Deegan wrote: > We need to test every version we say we support. > That's the purpose of the CI... > > On Fri, May 25, 2018 at 4:10 PM, Mats Wichmann wrote: > >> On 05/25/2018 02:59 PM, Daniel Moody wrote: >> > Opening discussion to remove 3.5 from the CI tests. >> > >> > Is there any reason we need 3.5 specifically? >> > 3.6 has been out for a while and is pretty stable. >> > >> > It's automated ci so there isn't much effort in keeping it part of the >> > tests, but we should only do it if there is reason. >> > >> > Downside is longer ci iterations and using more resources from the >> > generously free ci platforms. >> >> I'd vote - once 3.7 is out (that likely next month, no?), 3.5 should be >> dropped.

We need to test every version we say we support. That's the purpose of the CI...

Re: [Scons-dev] Should we remove python 3.5 from our CI tests
No way. Distros (e.g. Debian 9) package Python 3.5. Are you going to drop Python 2 support too? It's really not that big of a deal to test each minor version. Plenty of open source software far less important than SCons does it.

I'd vote - once 3.7 is out (that likely next month, no?), 3.5 should be dropped.

[Scons-dev] Should we remove python 3.5 from our CI tests
Opening discussion to remove 3.5 from the CI tests. Is there any reason we need 3.5 specifically? 3.6 has been out for a while and is pretty stable. It's automated ci so there isn't much effort in keeping it part of the tests, but we should only do it if there is reason. Downside is longer ci iterations and using more resources from the generously free ci platforms. ___ Scons-dev mailing list Scons-dev@scons.org https://pairlist2.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/scons-dev
