Subject: [pythonnet/pythonnet] Require at least .NET 4.7.1 (#897)
For future .NET Standard compatibility and access to some nice simplifications in getting the platform (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.runtime.interopservices.… and https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.runtime.interopservices.… instead of getting the respective information via Python) it would be good to raise our .NET requirement to 4.7.1 or 4.7.2.
Would this pose serious problems for anyone? Upgrading the runtime should usually always be possible and we already require at least 4.0, I think in some cases even 4.5.

(sorry if I missed anyone)
- Denis (denis.akhiyarov(a)gmail.com) stepped down from project ownership -
Benedict (filmor(a)gmail.com) is most senior python net developer so will
take over project ownership
- Mark (markv(a)unity3d.com) offered to take care of administrative stuff
(meetings, etc) and will schedule next meeting 2 hours earlier on Tuesday
July 2 - should pythonnet join the .NET Foundation? AppVeyor account might
make it worth it - vote next meeting - development resources for the
future? - performance improvements - missing features - maintenance -
merging QuantConnect fork into main repo? Benedict will review QC's fork
with Jared (jared(a)quantconnect.com) and merge or suggest changes
- Benedict will trim admin rights to only active committers - Please use
issues for proposed work to be done and use "Epic" tag. suggested: - .NET
core work - Python 3.8 work - other refactoring or features - Victor (
lostfreeman(a)gmail.com) will make PRs for key parts from his fork
- Benedict suggested that we should move as much work as possible into the
main repo - concern from QuantConnect that their velocity might be impacted
- mitigated by keeping work flowing from QC fork to pythonnet/pythonnet?

I would like to step down from pythonnet development, this mailing list,
and helping out on stackoverflow.
If someone is interested in moderating this mailing list, please reach out

QuantConnect's questions for the community:
- Who are you? Where are you based? Are you an individual or a company?
- Out of 10, 1 being a low priority, 10 being critical to survival, where
would you place PythonNet's priority in your organization?
- Are you winning to sponsor the project to hire a full-time developer?
(e.g. 10 companies, $500 ea).
- Order the following priorities for PythonNet future from first is most
important: *Speed, Stability, Python Version Support, Supported Features
(e.g. named args), Documentation, Promotion/Website, **Support for **Community
Questions*

Python 2.7 end of life is set to Jan 1st 2020, which is just a bit over 6 months now. https://pythonclock.org/ Major packages, like numpy are planning to drop support too.
I think we should have some kind of plan to retire Python 2.x support in Python.NET.
First of all, it would be good to know if there are anyone actually using Python 2.7 via Python.NET, and what is your plan going forward past EoL.

Victor Milovanov
