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. :)
