[Python-modules-team] Bug#955624: python3-pip: depend on python3.8 instead of python3.7

[Jörg-Volker Peetz]

Package: python3-pip
Version: 20.0.2-3
Severity: wishlist

Dear Debian Python Modules Team,

this package is one of two on my system which still depends on
python3.7. When is the shift to dependency on python3.8 scheduled?

Regards,
Jörg.
