Python 2.6 and 3.3 are EOL and no longer receiving security updates (or any updates) from the core Python team.

Version Release date Supported until
2.6 2008-10-01 2013-10-29
3.3 2012-09-29 2017-09-29

They're also little used.

Here's the pip installs for configobj from PyPI for September 2018:

python_version percent download_count
2.7 76.56% 607,597
3.4 13.42% 106,487
3.6 5.52% 43,824
3.7 2.84% 22,520
3.5 1.54% 12,231
2.6 0.11% 875
3.3 0.01% 65
3.2 0.00% 6
3.8 0.00% 2
Total 793,607

Finally, they're failing the build (see PR #172, https://travis-ci.org/DiffSK/configobj/builds/440978367) due to other dependencies having already dropped them, as the Python community is generally doing.
