Well, we officialy already support python 2.x where x >= 6.

On the sly, we try to do more (especially for basic features/ui) but we
should not have too much sympathy with users in this case.

Maybe we could add something like this in our doc:

  "Other than python 2.x where x >= 6 is not supported. So, it might work
  for you but be aware you're doing it at your own risk and we won't
  have much sympathy to get things work in this case."
