I avoided doing such assumption, as, when I wrote, our minimal version
were below that ;-)

Sounds OK to me, but please add a notice somewhere, to let it clear or
raise an error if < 3.7, as this is the type of API changes that
scares me a lot, as there's no way to detect that the script relies
on Python dict >= 3.7.
