Description

bug enhancement python

With Python 3.9 in my local setup, I've seen this error when running yarn test:

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Interrupted: 1 error during collection !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To fix it, I had to update Python to 3.11, fix local path and regenerate .venv.
We should:

update our documentation when we have a chance
maybe log which version of Python is used
@miorel please add more requirements
