Hi @clebergnu overall it LGTM, but I just find a compatibility test for 3.7 in LXC spawner testing which IMO we don't need any more. Can you please update that as well? Thank you.

Good catch. Sent an updated version. Thanks! |
Given that, after the release of 103.0 LTS, we're now on track for bigger chances, let's start by dropping Python 3.7 support. There are a number of features that are available on Python 3.8 and later only. One example is the availibility of importlib.metadata stardand library, which we intend to use to replace pkg_resources (and then setuptools as a whole). As for Avocado users and important platforms, we're on a good position such as QEMU already requiring Python 3.8, and CentOS Stream 9 shipping Python 3.9.18. For RPM builds, EL8 (in all its forms) are not going to be built anymore on CI. This may change if the SPEC file is updated to support a conditional build using Python 3.8 for EL8, but that depends on the existence of all dependencies on that build, including python3-aexpect, which is not currently available.
