django/setup.py
Nick Pope 78eaae9bf1
Removed obsolete version check in setup.py.
This was originally added to ensure that Django 2.0+ could not be
installed on Python 2.7 or earlier, in particular where the version of
pip or setuptools being used did not support the python_requires
argument.

Unfortunately, as REQUIRED_PYTHON has been bumped, this check no longer
satisfies its original purpose and could be misleading, e.g. if
REQUIRED_PYTHON is 3.8 and CURRENT_PYTHON is 3.7 it would request that
Django < 2 is installed, but there are later versions of Django that
support Python 3.7.

By the time Django 4 is released in December 2021, the python_requires
argument will have been supported for over five years, and Python 2 will
have been EOL for nearly two years, so we can remove this check.

WARNING!
========
You have just installed Django over top of an existing
installation, without removing it first. Because of this,
your install may now include extraneous files from a
previous version that have since been removed from
Django. This is known to cause a variety of problems. You
should manually remove the
%(existing_path)s
directory and re-install Django.
