I'm not actually clear on why we list those particular minor versions as
required rather than just 2.7 / 3.4. If the intent is to support any
non-EOL Python version that means 2.7 or 3.4 or later (see the table of
branch status on <https://devguide.python.org/>), but that doesn't mean
anything in particular about minor versions (in that a distribution might
backport selected release branch fixes without increasing the version
number).
