Give a clear error message if the python3 version is too old. Note that this is anyways a good sign that you are trying to use the system python3 instead of a version that is linked with ROOT. The minimum should be whatever is tested on GitHub actions. I believe this is python3.8.

πUsing pyROOT with python2 for eventbuilding is not technically forbidden, but discouraged for performance reasons: .
βAborted. The monitoring needs at least Python 3.8 (). π‘Hint: If you do not have the environment set up locally but do have access to cvmfs, try an LCG view (adapt `x86_64-centos7-gcc11-opt` for your OS)
source /cvmfs/sft.cern.ch/lcg/views/LCG_101/x86_64-centos7-gcc11-opt/setup.sh
