Bump Python to >= 3.9 #101

Closed cbrnr closed 6 months ago

cbrnr commented 7 months ago

pyxdf seems to support Python >= 3.5, at least based on the badge we're showing in the README.md. I don't think that this is accurate, and in any case I propose to bump the minimum required Python version to 3.9. All versions <= 3.7 are EOL, and support for 3.8 will end soon (see here). The scientific packages ecosystem has converged on 3.9 as its current minimum Python version, so I think we should do the same. OK with everyone?

(This would allow us to e.g. get rid of the try/except hoops we're currently jumping through in #100.)

Good with me.
