Hi Barry,

I think it is past time that we support Python 3.  Given the
development resources we've got for Storm though, we probably can't
easily support two parallel code bases if we also want to still
support 2.x (definitely still a requirement for the Canonical projects
using Storm).  Given Storm's test coverage, we've got a good chance of
getting the code base to a point where it runs on both versions
though.

Doing that is a lot easier if we raise the minimum required Python
version to 2.6 or 2.7.  Is that likely to inconvenience anyone?

James.
