The C compiler will throw an error when it tries to build the extensions in src/ext/util.c if it's using the python 2.7 dev headers. Given that some users will be using python 2.x by default, I think it's important to explain in the README that the project works only with python3. Working on cross-version compatibility can be a job we tackle later.
To this end I've added a couple lines to the README explaining that python3 is necessary for installation.
