I looked and there aren't any major compatibility hacks to handle different minor versions of Python 3. It's all stuff along these lines, and not many instances: #if PY_MAJOR_VERSION == 3 && PY_MINOR_VERSION >= 4 const char *prompt) #else char *prompt) #endif So while I think it would be fine to drop some of this, there doesn't seem to be a big benefit to doing so.
