As mentioned in other emails, this was typo where 3.6 was intended.

I guess this code first appeared in Dylan's:
4fd2e15855d ("intel/genxml: add type annotations to gen_sort_tags.py")
and then became part of the standard tests a few commits later in:
1f0a0a46d97 ("meson: run genxml sort tests")
back in Oct 2022. So, I guess at that point 'ninja test' would have
failed with Python 3.6.
Then, I suppose I propagated this to being used on every build in:
0495f952d48 ("intel/genxml: Add genxml_import.py script")
in Sept 2023.
Maybe Dylan knows how we might make this compatible with Python 3.6,
assuming we want to. :)
