End support for python 3.6 and python 3.7 #233

Closed nielsbuwen closed 1 year ago

nielsbuwen commented 1 year ago

Per this link Python 3.6 and Python 3.7 don't receive any more updates. We should also end the support of these versions.

We should increment the skillbridge version to 1.6 and simultaneously make Python 3.8 the minimum required version.

This won't be a backwards incompatible change, because pip will not install the new version for users of Python 3.6 and 3.7.

When that is done we can also use ruff as a linter instead of isort and flake8.
