Yeah, I kinda figured that leading dot was important, I didn't think you typed it by accident. :) But since I didn't know *why* it was important, I didn't want to blindly do it.
Magically I now show 3.4.10 as my python version. Until I exit and come back into QSH, as I would expect. Very nice, and I learned something.

It ran, but a subsequent execution of python --version gave me 2.7.16,
not the 3.4.10 I was hoping.

"Dot" in the shell standing alone before a script means "source" the
script, that is, "run the script in the current image of the shell so any
variable sets it does persist when the script is done".
