`<str>.removesuffix()` only available in Python3.9 #215

Closed koebi closed 5 months ago

This comes from https://ask.openrouteservice.org/t/how-to-fix-this-provider-error-problem/5649/2

<str>.removesuffix() and <str>.removeprefix() are only available in Python 3.9.

I don't know which QGIS version this corresponds to - we should find that out and decide whether we want to refactor until QGIS broadly supports 3.9 or whether we keep and set a higher min version.

What I found out is that QGIS 3.18 bumped to Python 3.6 and QGIS 3.20 bumped to Python 3.7 and that's where we are now.

If the backwards compatibility is only dependent on this line why not change it to support older versions? Doesn't seem like a lot of work to me. Is there anything else problematic with older versions?

If this only allows the Plugin to run with Python 3.9 we should probably fix this quickly, right?
