Document Python 3.7 requirement in README

[znerd]

Suggestion: Document the Python 3.7 requirement in the README file.

[will-gant]

For reference, any version above 3.7.16 will fail to install python/requirements.txt

@puradawid Yes.

I was getting very confused with this. Thanks for reporting this.

Thanks for the info, alas, I can't get it to build, even with python 3.7.15. I have the same error @puradawid pasted :

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.
error: subprocess-exited-with-error

Am I still missing something here ?
