Research direction

Start at the python class definition and trace how the version parameter drives package installation and the pip, dev, venv, and gunicorn resources. Determine how a list such as ['27', '34', '35'] should propagate, then verify that multiple Python versions and their dependent packages can be installed together.

Description

Hello,
At the moment, it is impossible to install multiple python versions with the same python class definition, I tried as suggest on the doc 27/34/35/36 but it fails. I also tried with spaces, no success.

It would be really nice to be able to do that.

I guess it would need to accept a list of version like

class { 'python':
    version = > ['27', '34', '35']
}

and then loop over it for the package installation and propagate that list for the pip/dev/venv/gunicorn/... packages as well
