Specified Python version constraint is much more restrictive than what documentation states

See original GitHub issue

I have a Python project with semver constraint: python = "^3.10".

Attempting to install pygls as dev dependency fails with the error:

The current project's Python requirement (>=3.10,<4.0) is not compatible with some of the required packages Python requirement:
  - pygls requires Python <3.11,>=3.7, so it will not be satisfied for Python >=3.11,<4.0

This makes sense, but the documentation says that Pythons 3.7 and later are all supported. Is there another reason the version constraint is set like this and not just >=3.7,<4.0 or am I misunderstanding something?

Thanks in advance!

I’ve submitted a PR to relax Python to <4, see #270. Does that look good?

@tombh yep, should be okay, thanks!
