The primary Python.org installer supports 10.9 and later by way of being compiled on 10.9, and there is also an installer that supports 10.6. 

There currently is no promise that building on 10.13 results in code that works on earlier versions of macOS.

That said, I agree that building on later macOS releases and deploying to older ones is useful, and this is something that I used to do in the past (I currently have the good fortune to only need to deploy to macOS 10.13). 

It is possible to add runtime checks for APIs, that's something I've done in the past to for the same reason, and that code is still present (for example in posixmodule.c).

Is this something you can and want to work on?
