Testing in GitHub CI

[stefan6419846]

At the moment, it seems like only the docs are checked when submitting a PR - and only for Python 3.9. This does not seem to be sufficient, as test breakages are not visible automatically by this, for example because of another Python version in the supported range 3.7 to 3.12.

When already at it: It seems like this repository does not have any contribution docs like ScanCode Toolkit: https://github.com/nexB/scancode-toolkit/blob/develop/CONTRIBUTING.rst Do the same rules apply here?

Yes, that's an oversight
In the past commoncode was in the repo as scancode
Then we split it to reuse as a discrete package
With the advent of flot https://github.com/pombredanne/flot/ we may merge commoncode back in scancode and still have the benefit of discrete components

NB: 3.7 is a dead snake... we will drop support for it soon.

Thanks for the clarification. I am aware that Python 3.7 is EOL, but I just wanted to include it into the list as the package configuration declares this as the minimum Python version for now.
