Investigate a way to test python scripts for compatibility with all supported versions in install script

[jordancarlin]

Depending on the distro being used, we install different versions of tools. For example, we install versions of python between 3.9 and 3.12. Investigate automated way of ensuring our scripts our compatible with all of these versions. This has already caused some issues for @rosethompson with python 3.12, and when working on the updated version of wsim I ran into the opposite issue and attempted to use a feature not present in python 3.9.

Investigating adding some kind of python linting as a CI check. Potentially using Ruff.

Working on this in conjunction with the ongoing major cleanup/refactoring of many of the python scripts that I've been doing. Once that is complete, I will enable the Ruff linter in CI and have it lint for all versions of python from 3.9 onwards to ensure we don't have compatibility issues.

If we want to we can also enable pre-commit checks so that people can see the ruff lint failures before committing instead of just when the CI fails.

Sounds great!
