Don't bother trying to support <=3.2.  It will be far more difficult 
than it is worth in terms of adoption of the library.

Also, you don't need to write a "proposal" for your library. You've 
written the library, and it's on PyPI.  You aren't trying to add it to 
the stdlib, so there's no agreement you need to get from anyone else. 
It can simply succeed on its merits with people using it.
