Upgrade to python 3.8

[satyajandhyala]

Currently the env/env.yml requires Python 3.7.9. However many new features from onnxruntime, onnxr-script, torch==2.0.0 require at least Python version 3.8
Is it possible to upgrade the project to 3.8?

Thanks for your interest!

I can't see any reason why it should not work, just build your conda env manually. Also note that torch 2 should allow longer sequences thanks to the new flash/memefficient attention implementations.

When I try to upgrade the conda environment, created using env/env.yml, using the following command

conda install python=3.8

I get many package conflicts and it fails. Creating my own conda environment from scratch python=3.8 may be an option but not sure how complex it can get. I will give it a try.
Thanks
