import get_min_py

result = get_min_py('requests')
print(result) # => '3.9'

Note: Most type checkers will falsely warn get_min_py is not a callable module because they are incapable of analyzing runtime behavior (where the module is replaced w/ a function for cleaner, direct access). You can safely suppress such warnings using # type: ignore.
