I haven't answered for a while as I was hoping that someone much more familiar
with Windows than I am would. In any event, I have what may well be a stupid
question. Is there enough difference between Python 3.6 and 3.7 that it'd
actually make a difference?

I suppose there could be, but having a separate build for each different
release of each dependency would very quickly become unmanageable. What actual
problem(s) are you encountering?
