I confirmed locally that 3.2.6 still works with PL/Python. I expect
that Python 3.1 also still works, except that I can't build it at the
moment. Python 3.0.* was sort of a dud, so it's not really interesting
to consider.

Partially because of the need to keep supporting Python 2, there hasn't
been any work done in PL/Python to make use of any newer APIs, so the
Python 3 minimum version is frozen in time at the moment.
