Testing is being dropped (again): actions/setup-python#672

Upgrading 3 is easy, using virtual environments is getting popular on systems where users don't have full control, so might as well go straight for 3.7 then?

Stuff that might be nice for Myokit:

  • 3.0
    • No more from __future__
    • New style constructors (super(), and no (object) after every class)
    • No more basestring and needing to think about bytes when handling strings (less of it, anyway)
    • keyword-only arguments
    • exception chaining (raise from), and easier access to tracebacks
  • 3.4
    • enums
    • pathlib
  • 3.5
    • os.scandir
  • 3.6
    • f-strings
  • 3.7
    • Ordinary dict is now ordered (by definition, not as an implementation detail)

But the bigger benefit would just be less clunky code and less testing

At the same time, it's not a lot of work maintaining 2.7 right now. Github might go back on their decision (again), or an easy docker fix or something might show up...
