Description Georgi Georgiev 2023-05-21 17:45:53 UTC

After installing gcovr

```
zypper in gcovr python3-Pygments
```

It fails with the following error:

```
gcovr --version
Traceback (most recent call last):

I'm not python guru, but my research shows that this version 5.2 of `gcovr` needs python version >= 3.7

Yes, only gcovr 5.1 supports python 3.6...

Seems that SUSE needs here some more testing ;-)

As a workaround you could install
https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/Backports:/SLE-15-SP4/standard/noarch/gcovr-5.0-bp154.1.23.noarch.rpm
