Yeah, good point, Python 3.2 was trivial to build, and that can aid later work.
Still I'd prefer to be more up to date, where possible (not withstanding the
very old kernel..).

Subject: Re: [Python-Dev] Re: Python3 OSF/1 support?
I'd like to add that probably the most economic solution for the OP is to just
stay on a fixed version of Python and not bother trying to catch up with newer
Python versions.

It is difficult to maintain support for less commonly used systems. If
you maintain it personally (like using a cron) and look at the results
over time, you could see the difficulty in maintaining the support.
Personally, my vote is a -1 here. In the PR, another core-dev, Ronald
had commented that support for explicitly removed a few years ago.
