[meta issue] support all current Python versions

[lostmygithubaccount]

• Error Installing Azureml. (Python 3.9 support) #1285
• Unable to install azureml-sdk with pip (Python 3.9 support) #1256
• AutoML extension installation fails on Ubuntu 20.04 (support Python 3.8) #959 (3.8 support? or ubuntu?)

3.10 set for May October 2021 https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0619/

@lostmygithubaccount which specific versions do you need support for?
Azure Machine Learning does not supported Python version older than 3.5.2.
Support for newer versions is sometimes limited by support from dependent packages.

[lostmygithubaccount]

"all current Python versions" - currently, 3.6 through 3.9, and 3.10 as soon as we can once it releases.

I assume by dependencies, you're talking about AutoML, which takes a dependency on many open source ML frameworks? Can we not work with those communities to update their Python support if that's what we need to do? 3.9 has been out for a while now.

According to pypi, there are quite a few "azureml-automl" packages (see #1325)

https://pypi.org/project/azureml-train-automl-runtime/

• <3.8

https://pypi.org/project/azureml-train-automl-client/

• <3.9

https://pypi.org/project/azureml-train-automl/

• <4

https://pypi.org/project/azureml-contrib-automl-pipeline-steps/

• <3.8

https://pypi.org/project/azureml-contrib-automl-dnn-vision/

• <3.8

https://pypi.org/project/azureml-contrib-automl-dnn-forecasting/

• <4

https://pypi.org/project/azureml-automl-runtime/

• <3.8

https://pypi.org/project/azureml-automl-core/

• <3.9

[kvijaykannan]

This will get planned for next year.

[marcindulak]

If possible, please don't close the issue, but instead wait until it is resolved.

[lostmygithubaccount]

reopening until resolved

[lostmygithubaccount]

@kvijaykannan note this issue is for all of Azure ML, not specifically AutoML

[kvijaykannan]

Thanks Cody. I have removed AutoML tag, so it doesn't show up in our AutoML tracking.

[lostmygithubaccount]

@kvijaykannan it is an AutoML issue as well, adding back the label - please discuss this internally.

do you have anymore insight into support for python 3.9 from the entirety of the azureml-sdk ecosystem? this is the only thing holding us up from switching to python 3.9.
