Hello,

When installing the latest tag with python 3.6 I am getting the following error :

I identified the change as a Cython update in your CI pipeline. C files are now generated using cython 3 since 0.13.4 making it incompatible with python 3.6 and 3.7.

If you want to maintain compatibility a solution is to force cython in version <3 during CI.

Also version 0.13.4 should be removed from pypi as it is breaking pip install with python 3.6

journal.c in 0.13.2:

/* Generated by Cython 0.29.35 */

/* BEGIN: Cython Metadata

    "distutils": {
        "depends": [],
        "libraries": [

        ],
        "name": "pystemd.journal",
        "sources": [
            "pystemd/journal.pyx"
        ]
    },
    "module_name": "pystemd.journal"
}
END: Cython Metadata */
