Expect these to be the most commonly used Python versions. Note that recently dropped versions (Python 3.6) will no longer have wheels built for popular libraries like `numpy <https://numpy.org/>`_. Users can still install the older version from PyPI via ``pip``, and version support tends to gradually "drop off" rather than fall immediately when security support exits.

NumPy actually drops Python support sooner than that, according to their own schedule: https://numpy.org/neps/nep-0029-deprecation_policy.html#support-table.

Some other projects are following numpy's lead on this.
