Hi @buffer, me again.

I'd be interested in picking this up since it doesn't seem like too much work.
There's one small thing to consult with you about. Type hints have improved gradually over the lifespan of Python 3. Initially supported exclusively through the typing package, then becoming slightly more native in 3.7 with the annotations future feature and finally reaching their current and most native state in 3.9 with the full inclusion of the annotations feature.
Looking at setup.py it seems that this package supports a minimum Python version of 3.6, which means none of the newer type hint features. It would be nice to fully take advantage of the annotations feature with 3.9 however 3.7 could also do.
I propose raising the minimum supported Python version to at least 3.9 for this reason and 2 more:

3.6 and 3.7 are already at end-of-life (source].
Using pip installation statistics this guy is able to approximate the popularity/adoption of Python versions. As of now it would appear that 3.7 has overtaken 3.6 by far and 3.8 seems to be tied with 3.7, with 3.9 not that far behind.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on the matter.
