Lack of Python 3 support needs to be more clear.. #698

I saw the top line, and the requirement for six, and took that to mean that Python 3 was supported. After wasting some of my time setting up and dealing with opaque bugs, I discovered that Python 3 is not supported after all.

"2.7+" implies modernity, so I'm suggesting we substitute "2.7.x" to be explicit that this is Python 2 only, and strike through the Python 3 line to be blunt that it is not working.

Agreed. Even better than strikeout a line through the Python 3, we should link to our offlineimap3, which is the Python3 compatible version of offlineimap. Also, detect python3 is running, and exit with a message.
