I've got the impression that spectroscopic methods that would be able to detect the major composition of the atmospheres of exoplanets at 10–100 light years away, are almost around a corner now. Maybe in 10 years?
Then if we find a planet with an atmosphere that is far from the thermodynamical equilibrium, like our 21% oxygen is because of photosynthesis, then that might be a planet with planetary scale life.
