To ensure Python compatibility, it is recommended to avoid using the := operator in your code. #42

To ensure compatibility with lower versions of Python, please avoid using the ":=" operator in your project, as it is only available in Python 3.8 and higher versions. Please, consider alternative methods to achieve the desired functionality.

Sorry, I don't want to bother with <=3.7, python2, or other really old python releases by now.

I know that enterprise distros often stick with such for 5+ years, due to their API-stability requirements, but maybe they can backport stuff for their paid customers if they want to, or something. Though in case of this module, I'd recomment simply sticking to <23.x releases for now - older 3.x and even 2.7 pythons should be supported in those, and there isn't that much difference otherwise.

Fixed missing 3.8+ version requirement in project metadata and README though. Should prevent from installing a broken version on these older pythons at least.

Thanks for reporting.
