Bump Ubuntu 16.04 to Python 3.6 #114

Closed eskaur closed 3 years ago

eskaur commented 3 years ago

The default python3 of Ubuntu 16.04 (python3.5) has been end-of-life since September 2020. Recently there has been some upgrades to dependencies on PyPI that causes zivid-python to stop working with U16/python3.5. This includes numpy, as well as pip itself (it breaks itself when upgrading if on python3.5).

While it may be possible to work around this to retain U16/python3.5 support, it seems more reasonable to drop python3.5 support altogether at this point. This commit adjusts ubuntu-16.04/setup.sh so that python3.6 is used instead.

It was also discovered that the installation of lsb-core now resets g++ to point to g++-5, so the update-alternatives lines were moved further down in ubuntu-16.04/setup.sh.

We have decided to just drop U16 support from the CI instead.
