@lgarrison Maybe it's time to drop python2.7 and adopt a policy to update the minimum versions of required dependencies.

+1 for dropping Python 2.7! I usually target non-EOL Python releases (currently 3.8-3.12) in my projects. I doubt we've made any changes that would directly affect the minimum versions of other dependencies, but if we bump the minimum Python version, we might at least need to bump the minimum NumPy version.

I asked on Twitter - in case someone has a real strong need/justification for python2.7

manodeep commented 1 day ago

(Completely biased) Twitter sample of two (so far) suggests that dropping py2.7 is fine
