python_requires=">=3.7,<3.8",

Full discussion at https://discuss.python.org/t/requires-python-upper-limits/12663, but basically it was added to provide a programmatic way to let pip find earlier versions of a package to support earlier versions of Python. Older versions of a package generally can't support newer versions of Python than the newest package, so an upper bound isn't even checked.

    Will address this as I update from setup.py to pyproject.toml.
