Yay! Thanks for taking this up. I'm in favor of dumping 2.7 post-haste.
3.6 is EOL at the end of this year, so we also probably want to start thinking about 3.7 and higher.

Hey @bsamuel-ui - I'm going to close this PR - I'm currently in process of updating the supported versions, so I'll handle droping Python 2.7 in future PRs. Thanks 🙇 |

Description
This drops python 2.7 support from the tests.
It further updates the README to explain the situation. While we're not explicitly breaking 2.7 support, we're no longer enforcing it, so this requires a major version increment per semver.
Scanning through the codebase, there's no conditional logic to support python 2.7 that I could find. And that makes sense: we delegate to tools that provide 2.7 support. So, most likely, if someone wanted to use the plugin with an older
pip, it would Just Work.I'm also proposing that we reject future fixes that require conditional logic; given that we have none now and those would be quite gory, I don't think this will matter much, but it does lay out the practical implications of dropping support.
Testing
Not much to do here beyond making sure the test suite runs correctly.
