Removes EOL Python version support and adjusts the test matrix to account
This PR removes support for very End Of Life Python versions. Namely this is Python 2.7 support, as well as 3.5 through 3.7.
It also adjusts the supported/tested Django versions to only include either LTS or those listed here in Django's documentation.
Thank you for your contribution, and sorry that I only get round to looking at it now. Unfortunately I just merged PR #16 before looking at this, and I see you covered a lot of similar ground. However, you cover a few more cleanups that would be good. It would be kind if you can rebase your changes on top of master and resubmit. Thank you!
I believe this is up to date now, based on the latest Django versions: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.1/faq/install/#faq-python-version-support
It includes testing with 5.1 as well, as just released a bit ago, so you may want to mention that in release notes.
Also, if you would like (separate from this PR), we could modernize the packaging now, such as using hatch with a pyproject.toml file. It can handle building distributions, testing, linting and with matrices, replace tox.
@friedelwolff Let me know if there's additional things for this pull request
I suppose before merging this one, Python 3.13 can be added, and Python 3.8 can be removed?
Probably a good idea to remove for other EOL versions of Django too:
- Django 3.2: EOL since 01 April 2024
- Django 4.1: EOL since 01 April 2023
- Django 5.0: EOL since 02 April 2025
And to add Django 5.2 to the matrix, which was released on 02 April 2025.
Before I bother with doing that work, it'd be nice to see if this project is alive
@friedelwolff I'd be happy to help do some maintenance for this library if you're interested in help.
