Python 3.7 reached end-of-life on 2023-06-06 1 2 3.

However, Debian 10 "buster" ships with Python 3.7 4 5, and Debian 10 is under long-term support (LTS) until 2024-06-30 6 7.

Drop support for Python 3.7 after this date:

  • Remove from CI
  • Allow use of language and standard library features from Python >= 3.8

scuba: Simplify ScubaDive.__str__
1afd9fb 
The output format is not particularly important; it is a diagnostic
facility. Switch from complex custom formatting to pprint.pformat().

Note that we would like to use sort_dicts=False, but that was introduced
in Python 3.8, and our current minimum is Python 3.7. See #242.

scuba: Use importlib.metadata over pkg_resources for getting version
a9f4e19 
pkg_resources is deprecated:
https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/pkg_resources.html

This prefers importlib.metadata (introduced in Python 3.8) and uses the
backport importlib_metadata for Python 3.7 (to be removed in #242).

Fixes #245

I'm good on this. Debian 11 should be our oldest end-user environment. I'm currently preparing VM templates for Debian 12.
