feat: remove support for Python 3.6, require 3.7 or higher

JohnVillalovos · JohnVillalovos · commit 414009daebe1 · 2021-11-23T12:10:20.000-08:00
Python 3.6 is End-of-Life (EOL) as of 2021-12 as stated in https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0494/ By dropping support for Python 3.6 and requiring Python 3.7 or higher it allows python-gitlab to take advantage of new features in Python 3.7, which are documented at: https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.7.html Some of these new features that may be useful to python-gitlab are: * PEP 563, postponed evaluation of type annotations. * dataclasses: PEP 557 – Data Classes * importlib.resources * PEP 562, customization of access to module attributes. * PEP 560, core support for typing module and generic types. * PEP 565, improved DeprecationWarning handling BREAKING CHANGE: As of python-gitlab 3.0.0, Python 3.6 is no longer supported. Python 3.7 or higher is required.
