Hi Robin, To clarify, dropping 3.4 support is just for the auditwheel tool itself: Python 3.4 wheels will still be supported. Inside the manylinux image, we run auditwheel with Python 3.6.[1] auditwheel is a Python 3-only tool, but this does not prevent us from building wheels for Python 2.7 :) This change is intended to save some time in CI so that we no longer need to test against Python 3.4 as I introduce support for Python 3.7. While Python 3.4 is still being maintained, it is nearly 5 years old now and has only received security fixes since August 2017.[2] While I am dropping support, I do not believe any changes have been made intentionally that would cause auditwheel to become Python 3.4 incompatible. Let me know if this is still a source of concern.
