Python 3.10 was released last week:

We can also remove some redundant Python 2.6 code.

You're welcome! It might be time to start thinking about dropping EOL 2.7-3.5, they have low download numbers.

Here's the pip installs for prometheus_client from PyPI for September 2021:

category percent downloads
3.7 67.13% 16,924,029
3.8 17.88% 4,508,113
3.6 8.32% 2,096,751
3.9 3.04% 767,182
2.7 1.64% 412,758
null 1.57% 396,362
3.5 0.40% 101,217
3.10 0.01% 2,544
3.4 0.00% 372
3.3 0.00% 8
3.11 0.00% 2
Total 25,209,338

Source:

pip install -U pypistats
pypistats python_minor prometheus_client --last-month

Yep, I have been thinking about EOL for 2 as well. Last time I had pulled numbers was in February, which had closer to 5% usage: #535 (comment). Usage dropping below 2% certainly makes deprecation seem reasonable (as well as more and more projects and AWS discontinuing support).
