Python 3.6 Compatibility

[hrishikeshrt]

Issues #3 and #5 are related to Python 3.7+ dependence. Needs more investigation, however, the primary cause seems to be some changes re and cmd modules.

If you still have an environment with python 3.6, can you check now? I think the changes to the backend have fixed some of the incompatibility issues. I tested with 3.6.13 and didn't encounter any errors.

I still have python3.6. Will test and revert

Yes. The version 0.2.1 does work on python3.6.9 without errors.

There is another problem though. Pip does not find any pycdsl version above 0.1.9. It may be because you need to specify that the code from 0.2.1 onwards is compatible with python3.6. Then only a wheel / egg would be generated and pypi would be able to distribute it. Then we can close this issue. Thanks for the help.

$ python3.6 -m pip install pycdsl==0.2.1
Defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeable
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement pycdsl==0.2.1 (from versions: 0.1.0, 0.1.1, 0.1.2, 0.1.3, 0.1.4, 0.1.5, 0.1.6, 0.1.7, 0.1.8, 0.1.9)                                        
ERROR: No matching distribution found for pycdsl==0.2.1

Note - I tested the above one by copy-pasting version 0.2.1 pycdsl directory from python3.9 site-packages to python3.6 sitepackages.

Commit c9f45e4c224ea23954a427125b01920fda64e816 will fix this problem in the next release by adding that tag in PyPI. Will close this post the release.

[drdhaval2785]

python_requires='>=3.7'

This would also require change I guess.

Able to find through pip and install it now on 3.6.
