Agreed. I would be looking at the solution here being "test on 3.4,
then (assuming no problems) declare that it works on 3.3+". Anyone on
Debian Wheezy can spin up a Python 3 from source anyway, and
presumably ditto for any other Linux distro that's distributing 3.1 or
3.2; most other platforms should have a more modern Python available
one way or another.
