Subject: Require Python 3.6+ for running Python-based tests
X-Git-Tag: v9.19.1~61^2~2
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=beaaa7f4e230acc42e098c76444a052fac8d4c42;p=thirdparty%2Fbind9.git

Require Python 3.6+ for running Python-based tests

configure.ac currently requires Python 3.4 for running Python-based
system tests.  Meanwhile, there are some features in Python 3.6+ that we
would like to use for making our Python code cleaner (e.g. f-strings).
Update the minimum Python version required for running Python-based
system tests to 3.6, noting that:

  - Python 3.4 has reached end-of-life on March 18th, 2019.
  - Python 3.5 has reached end-of-life on September 5th, 2020.
