More Python Version Support

[prologic]

I know there's a Python 3.3 Issue already (Issue #1) but I'd like to see support for Python 2.6 as well. I don't think it's unreasonable to support Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.3 and PyPy? I've tested funcy against Python 2.7 and PyPY 2.2 successfully so far.

I see little point in supporting Python 2.6. 2.7 is backwards compatible so anyone should just upgrade. There could be some cases where upgrading is a problem, but that's a problem that will solve itself given some time. So I won't make any serious efforts to support Python 2.6, I will, however, accept pull requests toward it, given they don't spoil Python 2.7 experience.

As for Python 3, supporting it will require some interface overhaul to be consistent with new "iterator by default" paradigm. Still I'm planning to add this in some near future.

Cool. I'll see if I can contribute some Python 2.6 fixes. I do agree with
you however and will probably plan to start dropping support for Python 26
across my projects in the near future.

cheers
