[cctbxbb] Fwd: Target platform with conda

[Aaron Brewster]

It makes sense for libraries to support as many python versions as
possible, since it's unknown how these libraries will be used.  Example:
https://anaconda.org/anaconda/numpy/files.  Numpy has a conda package for
each of python 3.6, 3.7 and 3.8.  Or https://pypi.org/project/numpy/#files,
where python 3.5-3.8 wheels are available.  Cctbx is a library, so I think
python 3.6 should be the minimum supported version of python 3, until its
end of life in Dec 2021.
