  1. Pass python_requires argument to setuptools 

    Helps pip decide what version of the library to install. This is
especially useful when removing support for EOL Python versions.

https://packaging.python.org/guides/distributing-packages-using-setuptools/#python-requires

> If your project only runs on certain Python versions, setting the
> python_requires argument to the appropriate PEP 440 version specifier
> string will prevent pip from installing the project on other Python
> versions.

>
> A string corresponding to a version specifier (as defined in PEP 440)
> for the Python version, used to specify the Requires-Python defined in
> PEP 345.
