Support of system Python 3.6 is already deprecated for the Sage distribution in Sage 9.3 (https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/31318). Many major packages follow NEP 29 (https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/30384) and have already removed support for Python 3.6. Keeping support for Python 3.6 would pin us to outdated versions of numpy, scipy, jupyter, etc. Dropping support for Python 3.6 will also allow us to write more modern code (see https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/29756); most notably the revised type annotations that are available in Python 3.7 using "from __future__ import annotations". As Dima mentioned, the ticket dropping Python 3.6 support ( https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/30551) is already positively reviewed. This is probably a good moment for developers to speak up if they have objections to this change. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
