Come out with a new release and drop <3.3

I think we should have 1.3 release be the last release to support <3.3. We can come out with a new release and stop worrying about <3.3. Just dropping it from pypi.

the new release will just have less python classifiers so when someone pip installs, it will resolve the dependencies accordingly.

A pip install with Python 2.7 will install <=1.3 but a pip install on 3.4 will install >=1.4

This is a pretty simple library with no external dependencies, and maintaining backwards compatibility is easy. I wouldn't want to drop compatibility without an extremely compelling reason. Do you have any examples of specific benefits to dropping <3.3?

I've come around on this and am in agreement with you now. The next release should drop support for <3.3.
