Description

Python version upgrade requires manual steps, see

• https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PROTON-2578
• https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PROTON-2399
• https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PROTON-2324

The changes required are along the lines of https://github.com/apache/qpid-proton/pull/322/files and making them is repetitive chore.

If tox.ini is not updated, then Python tox tests fail on Fedora Rawhide, which by default only offers the latest Python version (or the beta version of the upcoming Python version).
