## Python version supprt

Cirq currently supports python 3.7 and later.
We follow numpy's schedule for python version support defined in [NEP 29](https://numpy.org/neps/nep-0029-deprecation_policy.html),
though we may deviate from that schedule by extending support for older python
versions if they are needed by [Colab](https://colab.research.google.com/)
or internal Google systems.

## Installing on Linux
