The compatibility table is here:

https://github.com/0install/0install/blob/master/ocaml/zeroinstall/arch.ml#L63

However, it looks like the armv6l -> armv7l line was added in Nov
2014, after 2.7 was released:

https://github.com/0install/0install/blob/master/ocaml/zeroinstall/arch.ml#L63

0install 2.9 would be the first version to support that. You can try
it like this:

$ 0install add 00install http://0install.net/tools/0install.xml
$ 00install select --cpu=armv7l http://repo.roscidus.com/python/python
- URI: http://repo.roscidus.com/python/python
  Version: 3.4.2-2
  Path: (package:deb:python3:3.4.2-2:armv6l)
