Build with newer Python interpreter #151
Conversation
The code requires capture_output as an argument to subprocess which was introduced in Python 3.7, thus we can no longer builds against Python 3.6 default on SLE 15 and openSUSE Leap 15 and have to build against a newer version of Python available with 15.4 and later.

There is currently no package python311-kiwi, except for in Virtualization:Appliances:Builder (in OBS) and just for Leap build targets. The spec file is the same in openSUSE:Factory but it specifically builds a python 3.11 package in Leap/SLE 15 but in Tumbleweed/ALP it still builds python3-kiwi. IMO the kiwi spec file should be updated to build for multiple python versions like other packages and then the Requires can be changed to python-kiwi.

This change forces a user of obs-service-compose_kiwi_description to use the 3.11 version. That is currently the case anyway due to kiwi only being available for the main python version, but ideally the user should be able to choose which version to use. And we shouldn't require a specific python version IMO as it will break when python version changes.
