I won't obsolete any package from the list below until end of October
2022.  If I see no PR trying to rebuild them to support python 3.7+ till
end of October 2022, then I might propose to obsolete them.

library/python/backports.functools_lru_cache
library/python/backports.ssl_match_hostname
library/python/colorama
library/python/decorator
library/python/enum
library/python/flamegraph
library/python/funcsigs
library/python/ipaddress
library/python/ipython
library/python/ipython_genutils
library/python/notify2
library/python/pickleshare
library/python/prompt-toolkit
