Finally, I got to where I understood what needed to be done to get both

So, running:
# hg clone https://hg.python.org/cpython
works. What is the next step to getting Python-2.7 AND Python-3.7 so I
can submit patches against both versions and/or other versions?
BTW, only very few changes are being accepted for 2.7.x these days, you
might want to check ahead of time before putting in much work on that
branch.
Yes, I understand that - I have been working for months on something -
that brings in - imho - something that should have been there years ago
(AIX support for ctypes CDLL_LoadLibrary and ctypes.util.find_library)
Not new functionality - just the equivalent of what has been customized
for Linux, Solaris, Windows and Mac/OS (aka darwin).
Hence I mentioned 2.7 and 3.7 - as my patch has been held back even for
3.6. I know it was not, maybe even is not, perfect - but the base
functionality has not changed since March (so I am a bit frustrated with
the difficulties of getting anything accepted). Part of that is because
my patch was not submitted in "hg" form. So I am trying to remove that
obstacle.

else will need to forward it, if so desired)
