Hi all,
Note that this decision will force us to stop supporting Bifrost [1] on CentOS/RHEL completely, unless we find a workaround. While Python 3.8 and 3.9 can be installed, they lack critical modules like python3-dnf or python3-firewalld, which cannot be pip-installed (sigh).
A similar problem in Metal3: we use python3-mod_wsgi, but I guess we can switch to something else in this case.
I'm not sure I got it. Don't OpenStack already supports py38 officially? Based on my understanding of the above it is not the case. Cheers, gibi

gmann has been helpfully proposing patches to change the versions of Python we're testing against in Yoga. I've suggested that we might want to bump 'python_requires' in 'setup.cfg' to indicate that we no longer support any version of Python before 3.8 [1]. As gmann has noted, doing so would mean nova would no longer be installable on Python 3.6 or 3.7 and there has been a small bit of back and forth on the pros and cons of this. I'm wondering what other people's thoughts on this are. Is this something we should be doing? Should we do it for libraries too or just services? Do we ever want to do this? Thoughts, please!
