In web app land, "supported browsers" usually means the ones the
designer targets:  e.g., including "IE>= 7" in the list means that the
designer doesn't have to include workarounds for stupid glitches in
earlier IEs (or even test the design against those versions).

For CSS, this means that the site's appearance will be sometimes wonky
when running with an older-than-supported browser version.  Features
which depend on Javascript may not work at all, or only in degraded mode.

I have a really hard time answering that question then: there was no web designer involved in creating PyPI (*). The browser that the *authors* of the service target are really the ones I mentioned: all of them.

There is one browser that gets special attention, and flaws relating to it get fixed faster than for any other browser: setuptools.

(*) of course, it uses the layout of python.org, which did have a web designer; for this design, I don't know the answer.
