Drop Python 3.6?

[davidbrochart]

IPython dropped Python 3.6 from version 7.21.0, ipykernel 6 will require IPython 7.23.1, and we use IPython in our tests.
Should we also drop Python 3.6?

Thanks for bringing this up David. Would this only be in regards to our 7.0 release?

I'm surprised pip wouldn't just do the right thing - assuming ipykernel is properly decorated relative to required releases and we're not relying on functionality only in ipykernel 6.

Do you mean jupyter_client 7.0? No, regardless of jupyter_client.

Yes, you're right, pip couldn't do the right thing in #146 because I explicitly installed ipykernel master. With a constraint of 5<=ipykernel<7 or so, everything should be fine. Thanks Kevin!

Oh my - I knew this would happen one day and I am so sorry! You are absolutely right, my comment was related to the jupyter_client.
