Description
Consider/test updating certain dependencies, particularly scipy.
The current version of scipy cannot be installed via pip on Windows, and requires some complex compilation/installation steps (better to install Anaconda or similar). Scipy v1.1.0 resolves most of these issues, but there may be some breaking changes in the API which will need to be corrected.
Other updates to consider:
- pandas 0.20.3 -> 0.23.1
- PyQt5 5.9 -> 5.11.x
Another point of consideration is whether it is desirable or serves a purpose to continue supporting CPython 3.5.x as opposed to focusing exclusively on Python 3.6+
There are a few would-be-nice features added in 3.6 such as inline variable type annotations, fstrings, etc.
