@hugovk I dropped Python 3.9 support completely as you suggested.

👍
I saw 3.9 failures on my PR and Copilot said:

Some other bits to update:

README.rst:31: - Python 3.9+ or PyPy3
pyproject.toml:25: requires-python = ">=3.9"
pyproject.toml:34:   "Programming Language :: Python :: 3.9",

@hugovk You are absolutely right, I fixed the remaining 3.9 occurrences.
