This PR updates the minimum required Python version to 3.9, following the recommendations of NEP 29. NEP 29 provides a formalized deprecation policy for supported Python versions in the scientific Python ecosystem, which can help us maintain compatibility and reduce maintenance overhead.
The proposed changes include:
pyproject.toml
