'pip install sfctl' fails with python 3.7 (latest)

[chriskuech]

sfctl installation fails with python 3.7 but the installation instructions don't mention any python version limitations. #109 was reported for this issue but closed by the author without resolution.

I also ran into the same issue about 15 minutes after you did

Hi @chriskuech, sorry for the inconvenience, and thank you for reporting the issue. I will update the readme file with the appropriate supported python versions.

This issue is due to python version 3.7.1 coming out, and the support reaching only 3.7.0 for sfctl. Please try Python versions 3.7.0 or lower in the meantime. This is the list of currently supported versions: >=2.7,!=3.4,!=3.3,!=3.2,!=3.1,!=3.0,<=3.7

In the upcoming release, we will relax the requirements for Python versions so this issue should not happen again. #109 was closed when support for python 3.7.0 was released.

Thanks,
Christina
