Versions of Python prior to 3.7 do not guarantee to remember the insertion order of dicts; since kernel-doc depends on that guarantee, running with such older versions could result in output with reordered sections. Python 3.9 is the minimum for the kernel as a whole, so this should not be a problem, but put in a warning just in case somebody tries to use something older.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
