SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'

[rpannek]

When running python setup.py install on master I'm getting a syntax error:

It currently only supports python2, but the plan is to port it to python3 in the near future.

[rpannek]

This perhaps should be mentioned somewhere, now that many distributions ship python3 as the default python. And perhaps instead of assuming /usr/bin/python in the shebang you should do #!/usr/bin/env python2 that would make it at least explicit. Also with the setup example you might want to do python2 ./setup.py install instead.

@rpannek I think the original issue with python3 as well as the additional comments about shebangs etc should all be addressed now. Can the issue be closed now?

[rpannek]

Very nice, thanks!
