I created a commit for item two in the above list, it can be found at terop@757b441.
@ttu please take a look in case I missed something and if something should be change or improved.

Thanks, commit looks good. I will leave comments if something comes to mind that is missing.

I was thinking that we should also drop support for 3.8 with this release. Its end of life is in October 2024, so by the time of the release, it won't be that far away. Based on the PyPI stats, it is not very widely used.

Answer 3 · 2024-02-24T11:08:18.000Z

So is the plan to wait for October to make the release or also remove 3.8 support before official support ends (and not wait for October)?

Answer 4 · 2024-02-26T17:55:36.000Z

There is no need to wait for the official support to end. Based on current pypistats, most installations are from Python 3.10 and above.

There will be a final release for v2 with the fixes that have not yet been released, and after that, we can begin preparations for the v3 release.

Answer 5 · 2024-02-26T18:24:09.000Z

Okay. I could then add another commit for the removal of Python 3.8.

Answer 6 · 2024-02-27T16:45:27.000Z

I rebased my branch from master and now it contains the following commits.
Python 3.7 support removal: terop@b3658eb
Python 3.8 support removal: terop@0c94840

Answer 7 · 2024-03-11T18:23:18.000Z

@ttu Could you kindly check the above commits?

Answer 8 · 2024-04-04T18:48:42.000Z

@terop sorry again for the delay. I think those commits already had pretty much all required changes. I found few mentions about default adapters that should be changed to Bleak, but after that I think those are good 👍

Answer 9 · 2024-04-05T08:44:46.000Z

Thanks for the comments @ttu.
I fixed them as best I could and rebased the branch so now the commits are as follows:
Python 3.7 support removal: terop@133ee50
Python 3.8 support removal: terop@ec28465

Answer 10 · 2024-07-19T07:44:08.000Z

@terop sorry for the delay again. I finally had some time to get back to this.

I created two PRs; selecting default adapter and updated verification script. Could you create a PR for dropping Python 3.7 & 3.8 support?

I will still go through the functionality and test this with Linux to make sure we are not missing anything.

Answer 11 · 2024-07-23T13:16:27.000Z

@ttu Sure and sorry for the delay.

Please find a PR to drop Python 3.7 and 3.8 at #251.
