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:

scuba: Use importlib.metadata over pkg_resources for getting version
9da7654 
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 #264).

Fixes #266

staticx: Use importlib.resources over pkg_resources for asset access
0cec14f 
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 #264).

This instead uses importlib.resources.files() (introduced in Python 3.9)
and uses the backport importlib_resources for Python 3.7-3.8 (to be
removed in #264, #265).

This was chosen over the alternative of using the deprecated (as of
Python 3.11) function importlib.resources.open_binary() (introduced in
Python 3.7), as it seems simpler.

backport, which is preferable to upgrading from the deprecated API.
