Require Python >=3.8 for flit CLI #660

Closed takluyver closed 9 months ago

takluyver commented 9 months ago

Python 3.7 is already end of life (security updates ended earlier this year), so we can bump the minimum version up.

As usual, I'm being more conservative with the compatibility of flit_core, so you can still build packages on older versions of Python.

Prompted by #658.

I'll leave this a day or so to give other people a chance to comment, but I don't expect it to be controversial - I seem to be more willing than most to keep supporting older Python versions.
