Hi @nuin, only Python3.6+ is supported at the moment.

[nuin]

Ah, OK. We have this system with 3.4 installed where we do our bcl2fastq conversions and we are automating our sample sheet parsing. Is it hard to add compatibility to 3.4? I will check installing 3.6 on it.

Thanks.

[clintval]

It would not be hard to add Python 3.4+ compatibility. To do so I think I need to change/check two things:

• Drop the f-strings
• Check unit tests such that they do not rely on deterministic dictionary key order

If you can't port to Python 3.6 and still want Python 3.4 support, could you open a new issue with the request and I can review there?

FYI my initial intention was to keep this Python 3.6+ but I do understand many others are still locked into earlier Python 3 versions.

[nuin]

I will check tomorrow, if it's a no go on 3.6, I will let you know.

Thanks

I was able to install 3.6 on my machine, I am checking my code now.

Thanks
