Python 3.6 installation problems #175

Closed Ali-Tehrani closed 1 year ago

Ali-Tehrani commented 1 year ago

Setuptools version requirement in pyproject.toml is not compatible with Python 3.6:

requires = ["setuptools>=65.0", "setuptools_scm[toml]>=7.1.0"]
build-backend = "setuptools.build_meta"

Fixing this causes further problems when running pip install . and refers grid to as "UNKOWN":

The recommended solution is to update setuptools but this didn't work for me. It may be an issue with ubuntu 20.04 and python 3.6. The easiest solution is to require python>=3.7

There was another package where we recently required Python 3.7 and higher. I'd go with that solution.
