Speaking with-hat token FreeBSD user and package maintainer on it, as
a data point, it's not gonna be the gate.

On py3, the default version has been 3.4 since the start of this year,
and the 3.5 RC is already available.  The default py2 version has been
2.7.latest since early 2011, .latest has been 10 since July, and 2.6
was removed totally in Jan 2014.

So from here, 2.7.10 and 3.4.x are just peachy.  I'd guess even 3.5.x
probably wouldn't be a disqualifier by the time it'd likely be an
issue.
