Python3-all-dev's package description says the following:

"The package currently depends on python3.3-dev, in the future, dependencies on jython (Python for a JVM) and ironpython (Python for Mono) may be added."

However libcolumbus uses Boost.Python which only works with CPython. Supporting Jython or Ironpython would mean writing new bindings from scratch. Boost.Python could in theory obtain multiple backends but no-one's working on that AFAICT.

Supporting multiple versions of CPython 3 is possible, should it be needed.
