Support for Python 3.6 and loose dependencies -> 0.1.2.1 version
👋 I'd like to use this library for a program that runs on Python 3.6. Version 0.1.2 works but the fixed dependencies in the requirements are conflicting with my other dependencies.
Out of curiosity, what were the reasons (outside EOL in 2022) to exclude Python 3.6 starting from 0.1.3 ?
Would it be possible to publish a version (e.g 0.1.2.1) on Pypi with Python 3.6 and loose dependencies ?

Feel free to relax the requirements and make a PR with the change.
It would be best to pin the exact versions you need, rather than permit an open-ended requirement that could break in the future.
👋 coming back to this, it would require a branch starting from commit f6051df99010682ffb68d4d30bf8da832d210aa2 against which I would open a PR.
git checkout f6051df99010682ffb68d4d30bf8da832d210aa2
git checkout -b <your-branch-name>
git push origin <your-branch-name>
Then I can open a PR against this branch, have it reviewed and merged.
After the merge, from this branch, a 0.1.2.1 release would need to be uploaded to pypi.
Does that sounds OK to you ?
Sorry for not touching on this earlier: "...what were the reasons (outside EOL in 2022) to exclude Python 3.6 starting from 0.1.3 ?"
The reason was explicitly EOL. It's too difficult to support things past EOL.
"After the merge, from this branch, a 0.1.2.1 release would need to be uploaded to pypi."
This release would have to be clearly marked as existing only to provide Python 3.6 support, with a caveat that Python 3.6 is past EOL. It is very likely to get orphaned.
Also. It seems like Commit 7170428795c0e1bce5ea7d287771059669159a84 might be more relevant, since it's the change to requirements.txt.
Commit 7170428 already mentions Python >= 3.7 in setup.py. You would branch of 7170428 and edit the setup.py file then ? Sounds good to me.
Can you create the branch so I can open the PR ?
At this point, this seems to have been overtaken by events. (I have been bad at keeping up.)
At this point 3.8 is the oldest to be supported.
