Situation

Python 3.6 has reached its end of life and isn't available for download in https://www.python.org/downloads/ anymore. At the time of writing (Nov 2022), the lowest version is 3.7.

Possible Solution/Idea

Remove support for Python 3.6 for semver3. Alternative would be to remove it in semver3.1.
After we get a clearer picture from the poll below we will act accordingly.

To remove support for Python 3.6, we need to adapt the following files:

• setup.cfg in classifiers and python_requires
• .github/workflows/python-testing.yml
• pyproject.toml
• tox.ini
• README.rst
• CONTRIBUTING.rst
• Review documentation (examples that point to Python 3.6 needs an update)
• Is setup.py still needed? Can it be removed? Yes, was only needed for compatibility reasons with Python 3.6.

Additional context

• See poll in Should we remove support for Python 3.6? #371 (comment)
• PEP 0494

Hi @tlaferriere, any opinion? 🙂
