Can we specify more than one versions?

We would like both py 2.8 and py 3.6. Can we specify more than one version to be installed using this buildpack?
@GoldenMouse Hi! Unfortunately that's not possible, and is something that we probably won't want to support, since the UX starts to get tricky (for example: Does the same requirements.txt get used for both? What version should pip with no version call? Which of the Python bin dirs get put on path first, so will "win" when it comes to pip package bin wrappers? etc).
If you need a different Python version for something like running a quick script, I would use system Python from the stack image. (You will likely need to unset PYTHONPATH and PYTHONHOME for system Python to work; something that's on my list to avoid the need for in the future.)
Closing as wontfix due to the above.
