On going Python 3.x support

This is also a pressing issue because you have stated that support for Python 2.7 is ending with the next major release of CloudShell Pro (CSP). As it should. Python 2.7 was EOL with no further updated of any kind coming as of Jan 1 2020.

So the community needs to move its code over to Python 3. However, the current releases of python are not even close to what is supported by the product. We're told to jump to Python 3, but Quali is is shipping a 2 year old version of the Python 3, and is now 2 major releases behind. Even when CloudShell Pro 2020 was released, Python 3.7.8 was made release candidate as final bug fix version, and it was known that 3.7 was going into maintenance mode in 2020 - thus the focus had moved to 3.8 with 3.9 coming out later in the year.

So I have to ask, what version are we expected to be using with the next major release of CSP? I have to re-write shells and orchestration scripts across the board before upgrades (Ideally) - what version should I be targeting?

Python 3.7 Release Schedule: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0537/
Python 3.8 Release Schedule: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0569/
Python 3.9 Release Schedule: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0596/

I'd like to clarify the question some here. The ask isn't to support a specific version of Python 3. Rather, when Quali removes support for Python 2.7 in the next major release, likely spring 2021, what version of Python 3 will Quali be shipping with it? So we can start moving code along now.

Kimo – Thank you for the suggestion. The latest release of CloudShell Pro (20.2) and the next release (21.1 - coming in February) will support the Python 3.7.1 runtime. Before adding support for a newer release of Python, we would like to see more demand for the features in one of these later releases. Also, we'll change the status of this request to Active, and we look forward to input from the Quali Community to help us understand how and when to prioritize this request.
