Python 3.6 has reached end of life status, according to PEP 494.
Looking at last 6 months PyPI stats, Python 3.6 only accounts for about 0.25% of the total downloads:
By requiring Python >= 3.7, the project could benefit from some features that are only available on 3.7+, like PEP 563 or dataclasses.
Note that
cibuildwheel
reads the minimum supported Python version frompyproject.toml
,setup.cfg
orsetup.py
(see documentation), so it should automatically stop building wheels for Python 3.6 if this PR is merged.
