Ivan, I just noticed your message. My opinion still applies and should work for you, if the release in 2019 includes at least partial .NET Core support. Note that .NET runtimes are also moving fast and hence may require a separate discussion about which versions should be supported for .NET Framework, .NET Core, Mono, .NET Standard.
The amount of combinations for runtimes and platforms is not sustainable in the long term.

I think it’s much too early to drop 2.7 - I’m on a mix of 2.7 and 3.6 at work
Also, if we’re going to spend some cycles changing the build, let’s get 2.4.0 eggs out and get .NET Core properly working? 😎

In our field (film/tv/games), pipelines are only using Python 2.7. Our customers, partners and us try to follow the vfx reference platform. The table says that studios and vendors have until the end of CY 2020 to drop Python 2.7. 

It is too soon to tell if this will really happen that fast, because the transition will be hard, it will take time and money. Pixels will not look better after the investment.

All that to say that for us, as long as there is a "last Python for .NET" GitHub release/tag, we will be fine. We can always fork the repo and fix bugs on our own, or merge to a special branch that you could keep open in the repo.

Same as Mr. Sachs.  I've left the job since, but we used pythonnet
with a python 2.7 distro.  As long as the current version is available
for download, the script can get done what it needs to where it is
deployed locally.

Sorry for noise is this is not on topic.
