From 7c0d79131b136cb8dd63f0847844be2d79f6994c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Zbigniew=20J=C4=99drzejewski-Szmek?= Date: Sun, 7 May 2023 11:16:21 +0200 Subject: README: require python >= 3.7, clean up module descriptions libpython was added in 2cc86f094a8c316f7feb0336df3827a3264b116d, it seems because of python-systemd module that we built. But libpython by itself is not enough for actual python programs, and now we also list python itself, so let's drop libpython from the list. meson requires >= 3.7. We have CI that runs on CentOS8 with Python 3.6, but let's not provide official support for an EOL Python version. Individual distributions can provide backports, but we don't need to mention that in the user-facing docs. According to [1], 3.7 is on life support and 3.6 is EOL.
