I managed to restore compatibility with Python 3.7 for kuibit 1.4.0 without
any
drawback for users.  All the tests pass for Python 3.7 - 3.11, which should
cover
the entire range of machines supported for the upcoming release.

(Incidentally, Stampede has Python 3.8. It is in the GNU modules).

Best,
Gabriele
