Add two patches improving python_version logic, adding two extra optional arguments: show_alternatives and bail_out. The third patch changes the build behavior in a way that distros shipped with Python 3.6 like openSUSE Leap, RHEL8 and others will break. Personally, I'm against such patch, but based on some discussions at: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-doc/n4qixsp23dccgz6mtrmd2xumcngtphkbywjnxkrqpnuf2dbu2p@2sj44sbyga4j/T/#t Several developers voiced that the best is to break the build. So, I'll let up to the docs maintainer to decide weather or not apply the final patch or replace by something that would avoid such breakage.
