Hello, everyone.
The most recent release of IPython removes support for Python 3.6.
Unless I'm mistaken, this is the first very high profile package
to become 3.7+ only. Please expect a major slay of Python 3.6 support
in its reverse dependencies today. That is, when I finish the large
part of my today's TODO called 'immediate bumps'.
I would like to take this as an opportunity to remind you to port your
packages to Python 3.7 and 3.8. According to our timeline [1], packages
that are not ported by the end of the year are going to be last rited.
We would also like to switch to 3.8 in December.
