Attempting to pip install multipart on Python 2 downloads 0.2.4 and crashes:

$ python2.7 -m pip install multipart

Ideally, this project would present python_requires to indicate the supported Python versions such that PyPI could include that metadata and pip could exclude invalid versions. At the very least, adding this metadata will help future Python versions navigate the supported versions. I'd also suggest after releasing a fix to "yank" the earlier 0.2.x releases so that they're not presented by default (but still downloadable if explicitly requested) so that pip install multipart works on Python 2 and 3 without pinning any versions.

More detail on the process is documented here.

This plan seems reasonable to me. However, while I can make releases, I don't have permissions to yank existing ones, so @defnull would have to approve this.
