Joris Van den Bossche commented on ARROW-5757:
----------------------------------------------
Some discussion happened in ARROW-7555 (which I just closed as a duplicate).
Now that 1.0 has been postponed a bit and we are first doing a 0.16 release, we
should consider dropping python 2.7 support after 0.16 already, since python
2.7 is no longer maintained (and eg numpy and pandas also already dropped
support).
