Research direction

Start with the Tests workflow and its python-tests job, then review the changes in ci-queue/pull/170 that removed Python 3.8 and linting. Re-add Python 3.8 testing and the lint check, and verify the workflow passes for both the supported version and lint step.

Description

Errors in the python-tests job in the Tests workflow were preventing new versions of the Ruby gem from being released. To unblock the release, we stopped running the tests against Python 3.8 and removed the lint check with https://github.com/Shopify/ci-queue/pull/170. Support for Python 3.8 and the lint check should be re-added.
