I've got both py27 & py37 running on 10.6.8 {i386,x86_64} so the OS is
not a problem

compatibility issues with what are supposedly minor version changes)
In my experience with python3 then if it works in python3x then it also
works in python3x++
The big transitions were
python25 -> python26
python31 -> python32
and python27 is fundamentally incompatible with python37; eg the support
for utf-8
