      Epic Summary

      Summary

      Python 3.5 reached end of life in 2020. It shipped as the system Python3 in Ubuntu 16, which will reach end of standard support in April 2021, and Debian 9, which will reach end of life in June 2022. Note that the PyMongo 3.x branch, which supports Python 3.5, will receive bug fixes until the second half of 2022.

      Motivation

      Reduce maintenance burden. Also, Python 3.6 introduces PEP 526, Syntax for Variable Annotations, which are necessary for PYTHON-2432.
