Ah. I don't know; check the docs for one or the other and see what they'll do.
I tested my package on Python 2.7 and Python 3.4 But do I have to install all
Python 2.6, Python 3.* in my system and test in all environment for sure ?
You don't *have* do anything for free. However, if your package works on
2.7 and 3.4, it *probably* works as is for 3.2 and 3.3. On Windows at
least, installing multiple versions is trivial (5 minutes for each).
The more important issue, I think, is what system you have tested on. Up
to 3.2, including all 2.x, Python had 'wide' and 'narrow' unicode
builds. On narrow builds (Windows, some *nix), astral (non-BMP) chars
count as 2. Given Twitter's 140 char limitation, this bug (solved in
3.3) could affect a Twitter client by giving the length of a 140 char
tweet as more than 140 chars.
You can state that it supports 2.7 and 3.4, without testing on any
other versions. Those are the two current versions - my example was
showing support for more than just the one latest, but that was just
an example, nothing more. When Python 3.5 comes out, you'll probably
want to test on that (and then say "supports 2.7 and 3.4+"), but at
the moment, "2.7 and 3.4" is fine. If people want to use this with,
say, 3.3, then they're welcome to try, but they'll know not to presume
that it'll work.
Even if you test on, say, 2.6, it is up to you whether you want to
'support' 2.6 with bugfixes, in case a patch for 2.7 does not work on 2.6.
