Conversation
* Why do this? * python 3.7, 3.8, 3.9 are all EOL * jsonschema requires Python >= 3.10 * Simpler code * fewer imports * more readable * increment to v3.12.0
* fix typing related to str & Path * fix missing "| None" typing not possible before min version was 3.10 * remaining mypy issues related mypy being unable to 'prove' types fixes require making the codebase more ugly or adding ignore statements in many locations

As noted on this page python versions prior to 3.10 are already end-of-life.
By dropping support for these versions we can use more modern typing and make the code more robust. We are already actually pinned to 3.10 because the minimum version for jsonschema right now is already 3.10. You will discover this if you try to make a new 3.7 environment and try to install
sigmf. Conda-forge recognized this for us and already had the minimum version for sigmf set to 3.10.This will increment version to
v1.12.0.
