I understand, but I think that concern is misplaced. Having something on PyPI generally makes it easier, not harder, to get it into the stdlib. And it's also useful on its own, because not everyone has 3.6.

The problem is that it seems like the obvious way to design the PyPI version and the stdlib version would be pretty different (unless you want to explain to novices how to install backports packages and import things conditionally). But hopefully someone can come up with a good solution to that?
