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).
