Drop Python 3.7 support? #158

Closed dweindl closed 1 year ago

dweindl commented 2 years ago

Is it okay to drop Python3.7 support in the next release? We didn't really agree on any Python support policy yet.

Following the proposal in https://numpy.org/neps/nep-0029-deprecation_policy.html seems to make sense for me. Other opinions?

matthiaskoenig commented 2 years ago

Yes, please drop unsupported old python versions, i.e., py37.

the only thing i would miss, is being able to use it in colab, which i still often use when i get questions asked. Colab still uses 3.7

Thanks for the feedback. Colab and Python 3.7, yes, sad but true. Python 3.8 is available since 2019, not sure why they don't offer anything more recent. Wouldn't wait for them.

I would suggest to follow the numpy policy in the future then
