Bump supported python version
robertsont opened this issue · comments
Hi All,
NGBoost currently supports python version 3.6.0 per this line. Pandas versions 1.0.0 and upwards, however, require at least python 3.6.1 or higher (see here). Supporting python 3.6.0 specifically is forcing the project to use a version of Pandas that is about two and a half years old. I'm actually having trouble running poetry install locally on Ubuntu 18.04.6 with python 3.9.1 due to (seemingly) the poetry dependency solver not correctly identifying the necessary version of numpy to build with this older version of pandas.
I propose increasing the minimum supported python version to 3.6.1 and would be happy to submit a PR accomplishing this, provided there's no problem with abandoning support for python 3.6.0.
A PR would be great! I don't think there's any reason not to bump the python version- @ryan-wolbeck does that sound right?
@alejandroschuler yeah I think it's worth bumping here, I'm having the same issue as @robertsont when trying to build from 3.9. Thanks for the contribution @robertsont!
