I was hoping to make the ansible-cdk python 3.9, can you drop this down?

I think most of it is >=3.9 compatible except for this portion which I'm trying to figure out. The importlib.resources.files method doesn't seem to behave the same way with py3.9 and throws a traceback. Not sure what changed between 3.9 and 3.11, not much in the docs.

The one thing you might try here is a dependency on this https://pypi.org/project/importlib-resources if python < 3.10. It sometimes behaves better than the version baked in. You'll have to have a conditional import in the file, something like this https://github.com/ansible/ansible-navigator/blob/main/src/ansible_navigator/utils/compatibility.py#L18

@cidrblock That worked!
