The default Python version in pkgsrc is now 3.7, in preparation for

Can we punt 3.4, 3.5 and 3.6 then?
3.4 fails at least to build on netbsd-current due to an openssl conflict by
the looks of it.

Adam already mentioned wanting to get rid of 3.4. I think that's
reasonable.

I think we should leave 3.6. I've heard at least one person mentioning
they don't want to rush to 3.7 (on a HPC setup supporting many users
that run their own python scripts).
Definitely keep 3.6 in the tree for a while.?? Having 3.7 as default will encourage moving forward, but we'll probably hit a few issues that we can work around by using 3.6 for now.
