I have R-3.5.1, Python-3.7.0 and Python-2.7.15 built for 2018b. I am in the process of getting these pushed. I am pushing the 2018b libraries first.

Discussion in slack seems not to be working (the channel is to busy in my view).

Are we withdrawing 3.7 or adding 3.6.6? There is something to be said for keeping the 3.7.0 but have the 3.6.6 as the preferred and better supported option. Similar to what we have in the GCC space. We often have a conservative GCC in the standard toolchains, but offer more modern versions (e.g. GCC 8.1) as an option with limited support. The question is, how one would communicate that to users … Is it an option to have an EB quick release, that only releases the new Python 3.6.6 (and a few add ons)? Having that in a proper release makes developing python packages (like h5py) so much easier (at least for my workflow). Best wishes joachim > regards, > > Kenneth
