6-7: Consider upgrading Python version requirementThe Python 3.6 requirement is causing cascading dependency constraints (as seen with autopep8, lxml, and now virtualenv). Python 3.6 reached end-of-life on December 23, 2021, and maintaining compatibility with it is leading to:
- Security risks from using older package versions
- Increased complexity in dependency management
- Limited access to newer package features and improvements
Consider planning a migration to a newer Python version (e.g., 3.8+) to resolve these dependency challenges and reduce technical debt. Would you like me to help create an issue to track this upgrade initiative?

31-32: Verify the dependency resolution with virtualenv 20.16.2
The comment explains the version pinning is needed to avoid conflicts with importlib-metadata. Let's verify this resolution works as expected.
Run the following script to check the dependency tree and potential conflicts:
While this temporary fix should work, consider the following long-term recommendations:
- Document this workaround in a more visible place (e.g., README.md) to help future maintainers
- Create an issue to track a more permanent solution, such as:
- Upgrading the Python version requirement (currently 3.6)
- Investigating if newer versions of importlib-metadata can be made compatible
Would you like me to help create a tracking issue for implementing a more permanent solution?
✅ Verification successful
Pinning virtualenv to 20.16.2 is a valid temporary solution
The verification confirms this is a reasonable fix:
- The Pipfile shows Python 3.6 requirement and multiple version constraints for dev dependencies
- There's an explicit pin for importlib-metadata "<7.2" in dev-packages
- The conflict resolution pattern is consistent with other similar fixes in the file (e.g., autopep8, lxml pins)
- The virtualenv pin is only present in Pipfile, suggesting it's a development environment concern
The approach aligns with the project's existing dependency management strategy, where other packages are also pinned to maintain compatibility with Python 3.6. While this is a temporary solution, it's consistent with how other similar conflicts are handled in this codebase.
