Added type annotations on latest update is not backwards compatible with python3.6>

Got this error:

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Fixed it by upgrading python but would be great to have an update that is backwards compatible with python 3.6 and below if possible. Thanks!

Unfortunately, from __future__ import ... has to be the very first statement in a Python script, and so it cannot be guarded with try-except or anything like that. So we have upped the requirements to Python 3.7 for most things. Python 3.6 is end-of-life, as of four months ago.

@dhalbert Is this specific to this library? Happy to add Blinka>=7.0.0 as a dependency if so, and add a major up-rev if that would help.

@tekktrik yah go ahead and update the requirements/deps
