How to use pycontribs/jira with python=3.7.3?

[Adam Smith]

I would like to use the provided interface through pycontribs/jira(https://github.com/pycontribs/jira), when I read the document(https://jira.readthedocs.io/installation.html#dependencies), I found that I need python>=3.8, but my python version is 3.7.3。

can I use jira without upgrading Python to version 3.8？

Can I use a pycontribs/jira version that supports Python 3.7?

Thanks.

Hi, @Adam Smith 

Jira - it's separate service, its work doesn't depend from version of python, you're using.

But if you want to integrate with Jira, using python tools, like pycontribs/jira library, it's better to use python version, which is recommended by library creator.

There is a possibility, that it will work, but if library uses built-in check of python version, it will show you error and won't do anything.
