Drop support for EOL Python 2.6 & 3.3 #28

Closed jdufresne closed 6 years ago

jdufresne commented 6 years ago

Python 2.6 and 3.3 are end of life. They are no longer receiving bug fixes, including for security issues. Python 2.6 went EOL on 2013-10-29 and 3.3 on 2017-09-29. For additional details on supported Python versions, see:

https://devguide.python.org/#status-of-python-branches

Removing support for EOL Pythons will reduce testing and maintenance resources.

Using pypinfo, here are the download statistics for Unidecode over the last 30 days, showing minimal 3.3 & 2.6 installs.
