Q&A

Mikael: Thoughts about PR #6537?
- Many centers already provide Python at lower toolchain level: why not having it in the official repo?
- Still possible to do so in 2018b since many codes that depend on Python are not available yet.
- Bart: We also provide a lower level with Python modules without packages that depend on higher toolchain level libraries.
- Davide:
  - Totally behind any attempt to push Python down to GCCcore.
  - PR represents a good starting point to reach convergence. Maybe create a Python interest group?
  - Adopt JSC approach for SciPy performance issue with Intel compiler.
  - Will try to keep high attention on the PR by the maintainers.
