Python 3.4 is provided in source form only; the Python core developers
no longer generate installers for it.

Anyone who wants to run Python 3 older than 3.5, needs to find a way
themselves to build and install it; that's the trade-off for wanting an
old version :-)

That sounds reasonable. If you can declare Python 3.4 is not supported
by your app, your support job becomes easier.
