[Numpy-discussion] Dropping Python 3.7 for NumPy 1.22

[Charles R Harris]

Hi All,

This is to propose dropping Python 3.7 for NumPy 1.22. Doing so will allow
merging the array API standard
 (keyword
only arguments), simplify removing import time compiles
, allow making 64 bit pickles
the default, and bring annotations closer to current. NEP 29
 suggests Dec 26,
2021 for the drop date, which is close to the likely 1.22 release date, but
given the advantages of dropping 3.7 I think there are good reasons to
cheat by a week or two if needed. Downstream projects releasing after 1.22
will probably want to drop Python 3.7 anyway, as they will be past the
deadline.

Thoughts?
