Python 3.7 support dropped accidentally?

[rarkins]

Confirm this is an issue with the Python library and not an underlying OpenAI API

• This is an issue with the Python library

Describe the bug

This library seems to have problems with Python 3.7 now, possibly after this PR: #1114

I know Python 3.7 is itself EOL, but this library declares Python 3.7 support but then breaks downstream dependencies on install, such as checkov earlier versions. It would be best if this change could be reverted and then added back e.g. in a new major release and with Python supports updated.

To Reproduce

1. Install this library using pip on a system with Python 3.7 as the default

Code snippets

No response

OS

Ubuntu 20.04

Python version

Python v3.7

Library version

[rattrayalex]

Thank you for raising! We'll take a look.

[RobertCraigie]

Sorry about this, a fix will be included in the next release.

I'm curious if you can share why you're still using 3.7? I suspect we'll be contemplating dropping it soon.

[rarkins]

We have some legacy Dockerfiles which now "fail to build", otherwise we will be defaulting to Python 3.8 in future

[RobertCraigie]

This has been fixed in v1.14.3!
