What necessitates using 3.8? #21

What in 3.8 are you using that's not available in 3.6? Have you considered trying to cover as many Python versions as possible? |

Python 3.6 has reached end-of-life, so there are no plans to support it at all. In all honesty, I went with Python 3.8 as the minimum supported version because that's the first version supported natively on my M1 MacBook development machine. While expanding support for more Python versions is definitely worth the effort, I'm the only developer actively working on the project and I just can't seem to get Python 3.7 to work locally. I'm happy to accept PRs that can make the project backwards compatible to Python 3.7. |

Thanks much for the reply and thoughtful answer! I'm always curious about Python versions projects support or don't to see if there is a critical feature that I may or may not be missing. I didn't know that 3.7 didn't run on the M1. The Mac is so tricky with Python and with tkinter in particular. |
