Support for Python 3.9

[syedhassaanahmed]

Current latest version of iotedgehubdev (v0.14.6) doesn't support Python 3.9. When users with Python 3.9 perform pip install, v0.11.1 gets installed because of the way setup.py was defined in v0.11.1.

Are there specific reasons for excluding Python 3.9?

Hello @syedhassaanahmed. Thank you for your input. We have it in our backlog to support Python 3.9.

Since Python 3.9 is the standard python3 in MacOS 12/Monterey, this issue now effectively touches every IoT Edge dev using MacOS.

@mhshami01 Any ETA on this issue?

Having this same thing happen to me on 3.10, vscode is nagging me to upgrade to a version that I can't even install.

Python 3.9 has been supported since version 0.14.12 (released on Mar 1st, 2022) - https://github.com/Azure/iotedgehubdev/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md. If you are experiencing issues, please share detailed repro env and repro steps and we will investigate the root cause.

Yes,

Having this same thing happen to me on 3.10, vscode is nagging me to upgrade to a version that I can't even install.

We have the same issue with 3.10. 3.9 works, but 3.10 only installs an 0.11.x version absurdly

If you are experiencing issues, please share detailed repro env and repro steps and we will investigate the root cause.

Repro env:
Dockerfile containing the following:

FROM python:3.10
RUN pip install iotedgehubdev
CMD iotedgehubdev --version

Repro steps:
docker build . --tag reproenv; docker run --rm reproenv

Output:
iotedgehubdev, version 0.11.1

@derSchtefan @thecakeisalie25 thanks for the quick reply. Python 3.10 is not supported at this time.

Python 3.10 is not supported at this time.

Ah. Is there any way I can just force it to install and run under 3.10 anyway? For some reason vscode won't recognize it as installed if it's in a virtual env, and i'm not willing to downgrade my system install of python to use it.

It does install and run just fine under 3.10, it just installs an outdated version of it.

Also, any eta on supporting 3.10 and 3.11?
