Context

After Python 3.9 is EOL in October 2025 we can drop support.

Dropping 3.9 allows us to drop dnspython 1.0, since it only supports Python <=3.9. It also allows us to drop support for eventlet, which we only supported with 3.9 as well.

Definition of done

Update the minimum supported python and update tests.

Pitfalls

Ensure that container-based tests are using updated versions of python or newer images, if applicable.
