Seems like no one is pushing hard for an earlier version, yet, so
here's a patch with your suggested wording from upthread. I'm not sure
if this meets Peter's request for precision. (Though I'm not really
excited about documenting more precision than we are testing for...)
I like the change to "supported", that's useful.
I would just write 3.6 instead of 3.6.8. We've never tracked the third
version component for Python.
On the reading that "supported" means "we'll try to fix a problem
rather than telling you to use a newer Python", I suspect that the
correct thing to say is 3.6.8 not 3.6. There may be no difference
in practice; but if push comes to shove I don't think we'd support
a 3.6.x Python version that appears in no LTS distro.
Ok, that sounds sensible.
FWIW, 3.6.8 is the "final bugfix release for 3.6", so at least it's not
just some random intermediate version.
