Which Python versions are currently supported?

Hi,

I'm one of the maintainers for google-auth. We're planning on officially removing 2.7 support soon (requiring python >= 3.6). In preparation for that, I looked for packages that declare direct dependencies on google-auth and have 2.7 in the trove classifiers.

I noticed that the setup.py lists 2.7, 3.4, 3.5, and 3.6 and the python_requires is more permissive:

tensorboard/tensorboard/pip_package/setup.py

Lines 76 to 81 in 13c6ecf

	"Programming Language :: Python :: 2",
	"Programming Language :: Python :: 2.7",
	"Programming Language :: Python :: 3",
	"Programming Language :: Python :: 3.4",
	"Programming Language :: Python :: 3.5",
	"Programming Language :: Python :: 3.6",

tensorboard/tensorboard/pip_package/setup.py

Lines 65 to 66 in 13c6ecf

	# Disallow python 3.0 and 3.1 which lack a 'futures' module (see above).
	python_requires=">= 2.7, != 3.0.*, != 3.1.*",

The pyproject.toml has 3.6, 3.7, and 3.8.

tensorboard/pyproject.toml

Lines 1 to 3 in 13c6ecf

	[tool.black]
	line-length = 80
	target-version = ["py36", "py37", "py38"]

Could someone clarify which Python versions are currently supported? If 2.7 is currently supported, what is the timeline for removing support?

Thanks!

Thanks for raising that. TensorBoard has dropped support for Python 2.7 and 3.5. It was our oversight in not updating setup.py which we can will be updated very soon.

Related changes: #3094, #4409.

That's great to hear, thank you for the quick response!
