Sure, this is a good idea.

Technically speaking, this is extremely easy.  Somebody needs to "/msg chanserv register #python3" and that's about it.  (In this case, that "someone" may need to be Brett Cannon, since he is the official group contact for Freenode regarding Python-related channels.)

Practically speaking, you will need a group of at least a dozen contributors, each in a different timezone, who sit there all day answering questions :).  Otherwise the ownership of the channel is just a signpost pointing at an empty room.
