(Opening this now to track things and have a link target if necessary.)

Python 3.8 end-of-life is expected around October 2024 (PEP 569). We usually remove support around 6 months later, so in April or May 2025.

How to remove support. (Please amend as necessary.)

  • Update the documentation.
  • Remove 3.8 from CI and test scripts.
  • Remove 3.8 exclusive branches from stubs.
  • Remove obsolete stdlib modules (see VERSIONS).
  • Update stubtest allow lists.
  • Replace typing_extensions imports: no op for Python 3.8 -> 3.9
