The minimum Python version is 3.8, and we will document it more prominently per issue #91. I was able the replicate the hanging behavior and I think it has the same root cause as issue #71, with the same workaround: could you try to increase the limit on the number of file descriptors (ulimit -n 2048) before running the unit tests? That allowed "pyb -E unit" to complete successfully for me.
Increasing the file descriptor limit resolved the issue. Thank you!
Description
I've been trying to go through the installation steps, but encountered the issues listed below. I didn't see a Python version specified, so I tried a couple of them. Though, I had seen that 3.6 was used for unit tests in another issue.
Note: I was able to install and execute the tutorial code successfully on python3.8. Only the final PyBuilder unit test step was problematic.
