Python Version
--------------
-Python 2.6 is the minimum supported version, since it is the first
-version to support Python 3 syntax. All exception handling should use
-Python 3 'except' syntax, and the print function should be used instead
-of Python 2's print statement (from __future__ import print_function).
+Python 2.7 is the minimum supported version as it eases 3.x compatibility.
+All exception handling should use Python 3 'except' syntax, and the print
+function should be used instead of Python 2's print statement (use "from
+__future__ import print_function" everywhere).
