Description
Description
We implicitly define Python 3.8 as our supported Python version since this is what ships with Ubuntu 20.04 (what we use in CI).
We need to make our Python version explicit in our python requirements.
Python 3.8 is EOL soon (along with Ubuntu 20.04). When we move away from Ubuntu 20.04 we need to upgrade our Python too. We should probably go for Python 3.10 which comes with Ubuntu 22.04.

Research direction
Start by locating the Python requirements and CI configuration that currently rely on Ubuntu 20.04's Python 3.8. Confirm how the supported version is implicitly selected, then make that version explicit and identify the version to use when moving to Ubuntu 22.04; done means the requirements and CI agree on the supported Python version.
