Add python version requirement on setup.py #595

Closed jason-the-j closed 4 months ago

jason-the-j commented 9 months ago

Problem: All python versions previous to 3.8 are now end of life and no longer supported. But, pip automatically installs the latest version of flask_restx on python 3.6 (or any version under 3.8), resulting in ModuleNotFoundError on importlib.metadata which is available starting with python 3.8.

Solution: include python_requires option when setup for pip to resolve python dependency accordingly. prevent installing the latest and unsupported flask_restx regardless of python version. fixes #586

@jason-the-j I've merged this as #609 to fix some lint errors on the fly. Thanks for your contribution and fix. :)
