Information regarding sbws's target user base

Distros

• 1 would use this as an opportunity to upgrade to Debian Stretch
• 1 tracks Debian stable (currently Stretch)
• 1 is Ubuntu 16.04
• 1 is RHEL 6.9 (most likely using EPEL repos)

Plus devs and devs acting as testers on things that aren't Windows.

PyPI

Is a nonstarter for one Debian Stretch user and the RHEL user.

Library support

Note: Debian and Ubuntu support backports, which allows to have recent versions of packages in stable/old releases. I don't know if there's a similar thing in RH.

Python 3

• Debian stretch (stable): 3.5.3
• Ubuntu xenial (16.04 LTS) 3.5.1
• RHEL 6 3.4.5 ?

Requests

• Debian Jessie has Requests 2.4.3
• Debian Streth has 2.12.4
• Ubuntu Xenial (16.04 LTS) has 2.9.1
• Ubuntu Trusty (14.04 LTS) has 2.2.1
• EPEL for RH 6 seems to have 2.12 (scroll all the way down)

.

• SOCKS5 support in Requests was added in 2.10
• Tor supports HTTPTunnelPort as of 0.3.2.1-alpha, and it can be used to tunnel HTTPS (might have been common knowledge to everyone else)

• Ubuntu Xenial (16.04 LTS) 1.4.1
