Python 3.6 is already on security patches only - no bug fixes - with an end-of-life in December 2021 (https://endoflife.date/python)

There are already two work-arounds to support Python 3.6 relating to:

• dict not being ordered at 3.6
• no re.Pattern at 3.6

Also:

• support for Python 3.6 has been dropped from numpy 1.20

I'm inclined to also drop support for 3.6 sooner than the end of the year.

What do you think?
