I think that this fails because the python version used (3.6) is not supported by flake8 (docs). Since python 3.6 et 3.7 reach "end of life" (versions status), rising the minimal requirement to python 3.8 could be a good fix. What do you think ?

Patarimi I would honestly love to but that would also require us to change that requirement for OpenLane as well, which is a whole other beast. We're already requiring 3.8 for OpenLane 2.
