<span class="post-date-author">By Tomaz Muraus on Nov 15, 2021</span>
<div class="post-content">
<p>We are happy to announce Libcloud v3.4.1.</p>
<p>This is a bug fix release which fixes an installation bug that was inadvertently
introduced in v3.4.0.</p>
<p>That bug broke installation under Python 3.5 and it also prevented Libcloud
from being installed inside the same (virtual) environment where older version
of the requests library was already installed or where some other dependency
depends on older version of the requests library.</p>
<h3 id="note-on-python-35-support">Note on Python 3.5 support</h3>
<p>Libcloud v3.4.x will be the last release series which still supports Python
3.5.</p>
<p>Python 3.5 has been EOL and non-supported for more than a year
(<a href="https://endoflife.date/python">https://endoflife.date/python</a>) now and a lot of libraries (including some we
depend on) have already dropped support for it.</p>
<p>This is making it increasingly hard for us to still support Python 3.5 since
it requires a bunch of edge cases in workarounds in our code and build system.</p>
<h3 id="note-on-code-style-change-developers-only">Note on code style change (developers only)</h3>
<p>To make formating and styling in our code base more consistent, we have
re-formatted all the code with black (<a href="https://github.com/psf/black">https://github.com/psf/black</a>) and we will
automatically enforce black code style (<a href="https://black.readthedocs.io/en/stable/">https://black.readthedocs.io/en/stable/</a>)
for all the new code going forward.</p>
<p>This should make it easier to contribute and read the code since all the code
will be using the same style.</p>

<p>The release can can be downloaded from
