Python 3.8 support?

[Pikamander2]

Is there an ETA for when Python 3.8 will be supported? Tensorflow supports Python 3.8 now, so it would be nice to be able to use it.

3.8 should work fine, are you seeing an error?

[Pikamander2]

Oh cool. I hadn't actually tried it with 3.8 because the readme said to use 3.7. I'll make a pull request for that.

Can confirm. I've been using it with python 3.8 for a few weeks now. No problem.

[Pikamander2]

I ran into one error on Windows ('python3' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.) but otherwise it seems to work fine with Python 3.8.

Here's a pull request to update the docs.

@Pikamander2 Yep I would highly recommend using a virtual environment (python -m venv .venv) so that anything pip3 just becomes pip -- you have to create the virtual environment with the right python being called, so on windows you can do something like: C:\Python38\python.exe -m venv .venv and now when you activate the environment with .venv\Scripts\activate every command related to python (so python and pip) will reference that local environment. More info here: https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/venv.html

I'll actually add a bit to the readme about the details for virtual environment and that it should support python 3.6-3.8, so will abandon #21 for now
