I went a bit aggressive with dropping older python version support 😅
This PR makes 3.7 the min supported version.

Is this reasonable?

The test pipelines do not work with 3.8, 3.9 and 3.10 (#701) but I think the code itself should work.

Thanks for dropping Python 2 support (finally!)

As for dropping 3.6 right now, I do think that is too aggressive. I do know various projects are also aggressively dropping support within the 3.x series but I also think there are still plenty of users still using python 3.6...

Edit: Are there any 3.7 specific syntax changes here? I assume the syntax changes here (e.g. f-strings) are also fine with 3.6...

The syntax should be fine with 3.6 too.

Thanks!

Once the tests pass, I think it looks good to merge!
