Ah, we had been fine with just using 3.6 before this (and could have
dropped down to 3.5 with a few lines changed).

But 3.7 came out initially in 2018*, so I assume we're probably fine
to rely on that in kunit tool.

Do we perhaps want
  assert sys.version_info >= (3, 7), "Python version is too old"

Then the error message would be
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py", line 15, in <module>
      assert sys.version_info >= (3, 7), "Python version is too old"
  AssertionError: Python version is too old

I assume kernel devs know some Python, but not necessarily that
sys.version_info == "my python version"
