Research direction

Inspect the dapper-python package metadata and build configuration to find where the minimum Python version and build backend or setuptools requirement are declared. Choose between the stated Python 3.8 and 3.9 options, then verify that the package consistently enforces the selected minimum and its build configuration remains valid.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The dapper-python package should have its minimum version bumped up to either 3.8 or 3.9; this could be combined with switching over to using hatchling as the build backend (Python 3.8 minimum) or requiring a minimum setuptools version of 77.0.3 or newer (Python 3.9 minimum).
