Drop support for python < 3.7 #375

Closed maffoo closed 4 years ago

fanmingyu212 commented 4 years ago

@maffoo is the current pylabrad master branch or the next planned release not compatible with Python 3.6 and below? We are using 3.6 on most of the computers right now. We can certainly upgrade, and if you could note what part is incompatible, it would be helpful for us to decide when to upgrade. Thanks!

@fanmingyu212, the plan is to drop support for 3.6 and below in the next published release, whenever that happens. The master branch will stay compatible with 3.6 for some time, though I'd encourage you to consider upgrading to 3.7. The main 3.7 features that we might use would be certain type annotations, but those will be added gradually.
