Research direction

Start with .kokoro/docker/Dockerfile and trace how Python 3.7, Python 3.8, and pylint are configured for repository testing. Clarify whether the task includes adopting Ruff or only removing outdated versions; done means the Docker-based checks no longer use unsupported Python versions and the agreed linting approach is reflected there.

Description

priority: p3 samples triage me type: feature request

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Feature request to update https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/python-docs-samples/blob/main/.kokoro/docker/Dockerfile

Describe the solution you'd like.

  1. The current testing framework includes checks for Python 3.7 and Python 3.8, which are unmaintained. So there is a immediate need for this docker to be updated. Expected outcome is removing support for these outdated versions.

  2. Request to consider alternatives like RUFF to pylint. Given the size of this repository, a linter like RUFF would be cost effective + faster.

Describe alternatives you've considered.
