Note: minimum python version has been updated as protobuf min version requires python 3.8

@mnm-matin it would be great to agree on this and bump a new version 0.2.3 soon to then update the conda installation.
In conda, we have conda-forge/earth-osm-feedstock#5 that fixes the changes of recipe/meta.yml but it is failing.

My advice is not to merge that PR to avoid having a breaking version into conda and skip 0.2.2 in conda.
When the new PR is triggered for v0.2.3 or 0.3, then we can use that as draft for the new version.

lgtm. high quality pr 🚀🚀

ready to merge? @davide-f

Many thanks :D there is only a minor thing on about the VERSION handling that I'm checking.

The next step is try to prepare the new release v2.3 or v3 as you prefer and check if we experience issues with pip/conda installations

v2.3 sounds good!

Many thanks :) merged, I'll prepare the release and check how it goes :)

@mnm-matin Update: I've done as discussed and tried to release the new version.
The building works, but in the publishing there is an issue maybe related to permissions on PyPI?

Would be great your revision/comment/action here when you have time:
#55 (comment)

Many thanks!

@mnm-matin unfortunately we still have the issue with pypi and to avoid committing to test, it would be great to have better clarity on the options to push to pypi. I've added 2FA for pypi
