What is the minimum python3 version supported -- In the previous email thread all
references show python 3.7....

Anyway, in that wip/cffi "branch" commit 97caf16c15d (check for python cffi module)

could also include check for minimum python version, e.g.

+printf "Checking for python 3 cffi... "
+if "${NOTMUCH_PYTHON}" -c 'import sys,cffi; assert sys.version_info >= (3,7)' 2>/dev/null; then
+    printf "Yes.\n"
+    have_python3_cffi=1
+else
+    printf "No.\n"
+    have_python3_cffi=0
+fi

(adjust (3,7) above to any suitable smaller value =D)
