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.
