Hi all,

Python 3.9 is coming out before the next SciPy release, and NEP 29 recommends to support only Python >=3.7 and NumPy >= 1.16 from last month onwards [1]. I think supporting 3 Python versions and 5 NumPy versions in SciPy 1.6.0 is easily enough. That would also bring us back in line with SciPy on conda-forge, which built against NumPy 1.16 for 1.5.2.

Any objections?

Cheers,

Ralf
