Description

Two additional follow up PRs would be necessary after this:

Remove all tests options for min_pyver=3.7. That would be quite a large diff so I have excluded it from this PR.
Update py-version in pylintrc. This causes a number of warnings about using from __future__ import annotations. So that warrants its own PR.
We might want to run https://github.com/cdce8p/python-typing-update before doing step 2 just to see what can be automated

Just a draft to see if I got everything that needs to be changed for an initial PR.

Closes #4310
First step toward #4683

With respect to coverage. The first decrease seems "correct", it is no longer covered. Do we want to remove it?

The second coverage decline comes from assign-to-new-keyword become irrelevant. There are no new keywords introduced after 3.7 (match and case are soft keywords), so the message will never be emitted for anything. Again, do we want to remove this? Or just keep it in the codebase without any coverage?

We could wait a little for this one to avoid issue with Python 3.6 when backporting fixes on 2.13. What do you think?

Pierre-Sassoulas · 2022-03-25T06:36:02Z

I think we should remove dead code no longer accessed.

DanielNoord · 2022-03-25T07:10:24Z

Fine with me! Shall we say first week of April?

Pierre-Sassoulas · 2022-03-26T21:41:03Z

Alternatively we could merge this release 2.14.0 without python 3.6 right now, and move everything that is in 2.14 now to 2.15.0 (then we support 2.14 and python 3.7).

cdce8p · 2022-03-26T21:51:02Z

I would suggest to wait a bit longer before dropping 3.6, even if it's only in a dev branch. Once it's committed, there sure will be a lot of cleanup and update PRs which will make bugfixes / backports even more difficult. A few weeks more or even a month doesn't make much of a difference IMO.

Alternatively we could merge this release 2.14.0 without python 3.6 right now

Additionally, it would be better not to release new minor versions with so little time after one another. The fast bugfix releases are much appreciated though!

Pierre-Sassoulas · 2022-03-26T22:00:38Z

Once it's committed, there sure will be a lot of cleanup and update PRs which will make bugfixes / backports even more difficult.

The idea I had (following #5988 where the test fail for python 3.6) is to not do any bug fixes for python 3.6 / pylint 2.13 and just support pylint 2.14 / python 3.7.

🤔 Not sure about that. I would still recommend to wait. I agree pylint 2.14.0 should be the one which requires 3.7, but it would make more sense to include the whole cleanup there as well.

Until we're ready, bugfixes for 2.13.x still need to be tested on 3.6.

After all, the particular issue with 3.6 wasn't a big deal and easy to resolve. It should be possible to support it for a few more weeks now, too.

Not a full review, but from what I've seen this looks about right.

Some notes

We didn't add CI tests for pypy-3.8, right?
This should definitely be done separately, but we should make sure to update py-version. Just a warning, that might trigger a lot a pylint typing warning 😄

No we need to exclude line number checking. Something for another PR :)

I tried, and yeah that's also something for a follow-up 😄 See OP.

Pierre-Sassoulas · 2022-03-26T23:18:05Z

we should make sure to update py-version

There's a checklist in #4683 I assumed we were going to do it later on, but doing the whole checklist here would make sense.

Not so sure about that. It might be easier to review if they are split up into multiple PRs.

DanielNoord · 2022-04-06T07:06:52Z

@Pierre-Sassoulas Shall we merge this Monday 11th? We could do one final hotfix this weekend if needed without the trouble of having the hotfix supporting 3.6 and main 3.7. After that we will probably need to be a little more picky when choosing whether something needs to be back ported.

Pierre-Sassoulas · 2022-04-06T07:21:17Z

Yes let's do it. I think we can (try to) release 2.14 fairly soon after. This way we don't have to backport to 2.13 and think about python 3.6 anymore

There is quite a lot still on the argparse to-do list, but I agree. We should be able to do 2.14 much sooner than the gap between 2.12 and 2.13. Especially with the speed we have been merging lately.

jacobtylerwalls · 2022-04-11T09:58:06Z

The plan is still to merge this after a likely 2.13.6? Or are we cancelling that milestone?

DanielNoord · 2022-04-11T09:59:22Z

The plan is still to merge this after a likely 2.13.6? Or are we cancelling that milestone?

I think so, but I think we can already finish the review of the changes here. I'll fix the merge conflict first though.

Pierre-Sassoulas · 2022-04-11T10:43:17Z

The plan is still to merge this after a likely 2.13.6?

I need to create a test for the namespace changes but I've been quite busy lately and the main blocker for 2.13.6 is #6141 that needs to be reviewed by Marc ideally. We could release 2.13.6 without this issue in the worst case scenario. And the issue with 3.6 would be manageable anyway. I think we can merge this one.
