For the supported OSes, check the links for the versions on
http://python.org/download/ and see whether downloads are offered for
that OS (version).

For arbitrary third-party packages, check their websites to see which
versions are compatible with which versions of Python.

No one makes some centralized compatibility matrix for the cartesian
product of python, OS, and third-party library versions.
Probably because, as you can imagine, it would be enormously tedious.
Also, I doubt it would even be all that useful to most developers as
they simply go with whatever version of Python their package's
specific third-party libraries require, with OS compatibility being a
non-issue.

Cheers,
Chris
