Consider bumping Python version requirement about frescobaldi HOT 7 CLOSED

Sounds good to me if you are confident everything will hold for 3.7! 👍

Judging from #1285, we cannot bump higher than 3.7 though.

Are you referring to the Mac issues mentioned by @dliessi in that conversation? I wonder if they are still valid after almost 3 years with latest PyQt5.

Anyway, I think that bumping to 3.7 should be safe. Will you send a PR?

Will do.

I asked a question about UTF-8 mode on https://discuss.python.org/t/packaging-python-script-with-utf-8-mode/23813.

Regarding my comment in #1285, I still cannot recall what the problem was, but I packaged 3.1.3 with Python 3.9, so feel free to bump the requirement up to that version.

I'm trying with Python 3.11, let's see if packaging 3.2 works this time...

OK, thanks!

From the discuss.python.org thread, it seems that the goal of using UTF-8 mode is incompatible with the goal of making pip install frescobaldi work. The latter is important to me at least, so I guess we should give up on UTF-8 mode, sadly.
