https://docs.scrapy.org/en/latest/topics/downloader-middleware.html#built-in-downloader-middleware-reference @Gallaecio I am seeing that Reappy Parser Do I just need to mention there that "only work with Python 3.8 and earlier" or do I need to make some other changes. Thanks

[Gallaecio]

That’s it.

Please, do it as part of #5226, this ticket is for potential future work deprecating support for Reppy.

[Gallaecio]

And now the latest gcc also cannot build the package either 😢

@Gallaecio do we need to update once more the docs to mention gcc's current issue for previous versions of python? Or can we close as-is?

[Gallaecio]

Neither. I would not bother changing the docs, but this needs to remain open until we actually deprecate Reppy support, to be done around Oct 14th 2023. i.e. 1 year before Python 3.8 end of life, as agreed.

Nice, thanks @Gallaecio !

This is now ready.
