cc @makermelissa we discussed minimum version for Blinka and Circuitpython_Typing in the weeds during Monday's meeting a bit. Am definitely open to input from you as well on updating it, and if you know whether there is anywhere else in this repo that it might need to be changed.

One of the things holding us back on updating to a more recent version of python is the Jetson Nano, which last time I checked would only install up to version 3.8. So before we merge this I need to check a few things:

  1. Update the Jetson Nano and see if Python > 3.8 is available (internet is currently down, so will need to wait until tomorrow unless I figure out an alternative sooner)
  2. If not, there may be an alternate way such as building from sources, so a guide section update would need to be done in such a case.

Ok, I figured out a good alternative and will give it a shot.

Python 3.8 is still the latest through sudo apt install. There may be another way to update and I'll look into that.
