I think we should not. I don’t want to get into the same situation as perl
where we had so many different versions which made supporting the latest
version even harder. Testing old versions ultimately slows down modules from
getting updated.

When py35 and py36 have more sub-ports, then yes.
$ port list py34-* | wc -l
654
$ port list py35-* | wc -l
520
$ port list py36-* | wc -l
323
I think we should strive to support the latest versions of python 2 and 3 only.
Cheers!
