Antoine Pitrou commented on ARROW-12706:
----------------------------------------
Created ARROW-15214 for Numpy 1.16.
> [Python] Drop python 3.6
> ------------------------
>
> Key: ARROW-12706
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-12706
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Python
> Reporter: Adam Lippai
> Priority: Major
> Labels: pull-request-available
> Fix For: 7.0.0
>
> Time Spent: 2h 20m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> If we are following [NEP
> 29|https://numpy.org/neps/nep-0029-deprecation_policy.html] we can safely
> drop python 3.6 (released in 2016) and numpy 1.16 support (released in 2019),
> they got unsupported in January by numpy.
> Python 3.6 will reach end of life in 6-7 months anyways, so it's a good
> target for removal in pyarrow 5.0.0 or 6.0.0.
