Regarding Python 3.7 support in libraries. I don't think keeping it is worth it even if there are still downloads of that dependency for Python 3.7.

If somebody still have 3.7 in production it won't change unless they get a "kick" of some kind. I mean, they still will be using 3.7 in two or three months as they do now.

The only way to make them upgrade is to break their systems with a dependency that dropped Python 3.7 support.

I wrote a thing!

For some reason, EOL Python 3.7 accounts for 23% of downloads from PyPI.

Why so high?

Let's find out which distro is responsible!
