Python version support policy
-----------------------------
The minimum Python version Sphinx supports is the default Python version
installed in the oldest `Long Term Support version of
Ubuntu <https://ubuntu.com/about/release-cycle>`_ that has standard support.
For example, as of July 2021, Ubuntu 16.04 has just entered extended
security maintenance (therefore, it doesn't count as standard support) and
the oldest LTS release to consider is Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, supported until
April 2023 and shipping Python 3.6.
This is a summary table with the current policy:
========== ========= ======
Date Ubuntu Python
========== ========= ======
April 2021 18.04 LTS 3.6+
---------- --------- ------
April 2023 20.04 LTS 3.8+
========== ========= ======
