    The Windows Release build are still being linked directly to Python 3.6 which reached it's end of life on December 23, 2021. It should be built with `Py_LIMITED_API` set to the lowest supported version or built the release with the latest and greatest.

Users shouldn't have to choose between installing an ancient version of python or building lldb from source just to use lldb. It also makes users more inclined to use an old version of python since it is much faster and easier to install an old version than it is to build lldb from source.

I'm aware this issue has been raised before and this will likely be closed. However, "...yell loud enough and somebody will eventually come over to see what all the fuss is about... not that they will actually do anything about it..."

Also as you can see [here](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/runs/5147017331?check_suite_focus=true#step:5:435) the tests on windows are being run with a build of lldb using python 3.10.1. Running the tests on one version and releasing a build with a much older one is not wise.
