IIUC, that would not reject Python 4.x, which I presume would be
a backwards incompatible version bump.
Yes, that would not reject 4. But lets wait until Python 4 is started to
decide if we then want to disable libvirt for it - assume the best and
hope it will be (mostly) backward compatible. (many Python 2 program
even work with Python 3 and having to change each of them just to
while-list the version bump would be a pain.)
That would be the "Pythonic" way of doing things.

Are these used for any functional purpose, or just really a documentation
thing ? This does introduce the issue of someone having to remember to
add 3.9, 3.10, etc as they arrive. I'm confident we'll forget that.
Those are the "Trove clasifiers" <
https://pypi.org/classifiers/>, which
are for example displayed on PyPi
<
https://pypi.org/project/libvirt-python/>. It helps to know that
someone tested it with those versions.
As there is not "does not work with 3.4 or older" I chose to explicitly
list the versions which we support currently (contradicting my words above).
