Support multiple versions of Python and add MacOS builds

Description

This MR tackles basically the backport that happens on this other MR !190 (merged) for upcomming 0.6.1.

The only differences are:

• unlike the !190 (merged) we don't force code changes to make compatibility with Python3.7
• going forward we deprecate support for Python3.7 so start testing/supporting only on Python3.8 and Python3.11

The commits provide all explanation of the fixes. These fixes could have been done on different MRs but in other to make all pipelines pass in all platform, we had todo them in 1 MR.

Type

• Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
• New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
• Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to change)
• Code refactoring (only refactoring of existing code, without new functionality)

Issue(s)

Testing

All pipelines where run in all supported version of Python and on all supported OS's.

• All pipelines pass, including manually triggered ones.
• If merging a repository with a release package, updated appropriate CHANGELOG.md:
