Readme requirements states, it requires python 3.7+ while pypi and github description says it supports 3.6+

Ah sorry, no 1.1 dropped support for Python 3.6. I should update the readme. Thanks 😄

I will link back to this question even if closed. What was the reason for dropping support of python 3.6?

There were enough changes to the asyncio stuff that it made sense to me to follow along with sunpy's (the package that spawned this project) adherence to https://numpy.org/neps/nep-0029-deprecation_policy.html

Where it makes sense I probably will run a little slower than NEP 29 for this package, but I maintain this in my spare time (it's a side project on a side project) so I am always likely to bump Python versions if it makes things easier for me. (I promise I wont go any faster than NEP 29).
