Hi, everyone.

I think we're nearing the time of switching our 'stable' Python
implementation from Python 3.6 to 3.7.  If you find some free time,
please dedicate it to porting packages to 3.7.


While bumping packages, please also take care to:

a. add python_test() if it is missing,

b. replace 'py.test' calls with 'pytest -vv' (the former is obsolete),

c. bump to EAPI 7,

d. add missing PYTHON_USEDEPs (yes, we still have packages without
them),

e. add setuptools to RDEPEND whenever entry_points are used in setup.py,

f. usually, DEPEND=${RDEPEND} can be changed to
   DEPEND="test? ( ${RDEPEND} )"


Relevant lists:

- packages still missing py3.7 entirely:
