> My only frustration with this release announcement is dropping Python 3.5 support now. Because Python 3.5 is not EOL and used in LTS OS releases that have vendor support through 2021, this forces us to choose between our policy of supporting vendor OS releases until they reach EOL, not upgrading to Django 3 for the next year or more, or shipping our own Python on Ubuntu Xenial. One of the things I have learned early on is to not depend on the system-bundled Python. I either just use pyenv to install whatever Python version I like, or I use a Python Docker image (https://hub.docker.com/_/python/ https://hub.docker.com/_/python/). That way, I'm decoupled from the system-bundled Python and it's easier to test out new Python versions.
