Hi,
I just saw that the documentation still mentions that QEMU supports
Python 3.7.
Oops.
Python 3.7 is an unsupported Python version since about one year.
Therefore I suggest to update the documentation for QEMU 9.1.0 and
replace 3.7 by 3.8 as lowest supported version.
Indeed, we dropped support for Python 3.7 one year ago, in commit
ca056f4499 (May 3, 2023):
Our supported build platforms as of today all support at
least 3.8 [...]
Since it is safe under our supported platform policy, bump our
minimum supported version of Python to 3.8.
In addition the code which still mentions Python 3.7 or even 3.5 and 3.6
could be reviewed and maybe simplified, but I think this is less urgent
and can be done after QEMU release 9.1.0.
