• linux_distribution was removed from platform in 3.8
• removed end of life python versions

I do not believe removing 2.7 compatibility is the right move.

Why did you reduce the required versions?

Python 2 reached EOL on Jan. 1, 2020.

It's time to move on.

Like it or not, Python 2 is used, and supported to some extent, out in the wild. Besides, an email I received from this repo's owner said that he was no longer in control of changes to ipify. This means that pull requests here are not going to see the light of day. It might be better to leave this one alone and create a fork that is compatible with Python 3. Call it ipify3, then 2 and 3 can be supported.
