To identify the version of Python that a package on GitHub utilizes, you can check the requirements section of the package's documentation or README file. This section will usually list the minimum version of Python required for the package to work correctly.

Additionally, you can look at the syntax and code structure used in the package's source code to get a better idea of the Python version it uses. For example, f-strings were introduced in Python 3.6, so if you see f-strings used in the code, you can assume that the package requires at least Python 3.6.

Finally, you can also try to run the package and see if it works with your Python version. If the package runs without errors, it is likely compatible with your version of Python.
