Suggestion to drop 3.7 in next release/ current 2022 ?

That would be in line with https://numpy.org/neps/nep-0029-deprecation_policy.html, and 3.7 is the things that poses problem with importlib-metadata and co.

IPython 8 is also 3.8+

Thoughts ?

Yeah, I think it makes sense for us to track what IPython is doing.

Ok, once IPython 8.0 is out, and dust has settled a bit I can send a pull-request that bump minimal python versions.

Thanks !
