If a versioned dependency on Python is needed, it usually needs to be in place before building the package (it would often result in FTBFS with the incompatible Python version) - it therefore needs to be in the Build-Depends, not the Depends field.
(As a general rule, we also want to avoid such dependencies as much as possible because they make Python interpreter transitions harder.)
