 Development of this package is done in Python 3.9. The package is considered forwards compatible at least upto Python 3.11 and probably also beyond. Backwards compatibility is not guaranteed; if it works on Python 3.7 or before consider yourself lucky. [Python versions that are end-of-life](https://devguide.python.org/versions/) are not supported.
