Adopt Python support schedule from NEP 29 #659

Closed dotsdl closed 3 years ago

dotsdl commented 3 years ago

In order to accelerate development and reduce the compatibility burden on developers, I propose we officially adopt the drop schedule for Python and NumPy supported versions detailed in NEP 29.

As for immediate action, adoption of this proposal entails dropping support for:

Python <= 3.6
Numpy <= 1.16

We are currently not executing CI for Python 3.6, but we may still be building conda packages for this.

Absolutely on board with this. Some of the newer modifications I have been making will require Python 3.7
