Do we need to support Python 3.7 for EduBot?

If not, then GitHub actions can stop running tests on Python 3.7 and setup.cfg can be updated to require Python 3.8.

Well, I run the bot with py3.7 at the moment. Can you see why the unit test succeeds with py38 but not py37?

[skilkis]

It stems from an error raised in tests/helpers.py since unittest.mock.AsyncMock was introduced in Python 3.8. Unfortunately, we will need that if we wish to do unit-tests on our bot.

Ahh, ok. Well, just leave it be then. Nothing we can do to fix this, even though we know that the bot runs fine on py37!
