Proposed change

We are considering whether we should drop support for Python 3.2 and would appreciate your feedback and opinion on this potential change. Your comments will help us determine how best to proceed.

Why are we considering it?

Requests, a twitter-ads dependency, recently started using unicode literals, which causes SyntaxErrors in Python 3.2 (see failed Travis build).

Given this change, being compatible with 3.2 poses some challenges. The biggest of these is not being able to use the latest release of Requests. Other twitter-ads dependencies—mock and Sphinx—have also dropped official support for 3.2, though there aren't any breaking changes there.

In addition, recent data on all pip-initiated traffic shows 3.2 usage at 0.07%. If these numbers are similar to usage for twitter-ads users, the change will have minor impacts.

A quick update. We are not seeing any requests coming from Python 3.2. Because of this and the fact that no developers have mentioned needing 3.2, we have decided to move forward with dropping support. This change will take effect in the coming days. Thanks!
