VS Code is dropping Python 3.7 support in September 2023 and with the following Python releases they are planning to drop support of a Python version in the first extension release of the year following after EOL.

Ugh, this gives me mixed feelings. I personally know several projects, mostly internal ones at a few companies, that still rely on this version of Python.

I can't decide however if I'm more bothered that they're dropping support for 3.7 or that I know people who are still using it.

I know people that still use Python 2.7 and even pay a third-party vendor for its support. I won't call any names of cause:)
