As you can see in #39, the recent changes are not entirely compatible with Python 3. I will spend a bit of time fixing this, but for the future: Are we targeting only Python 2, as this seems to still be the standard on most distros, or do we support Python 3 as well? Either way, we should clarify it as I couldn't see it while glancing over the README. Thoughts?

It's true that py2 is still the default on most systems but that is soon about to change (e.g. Fedora will switch to 3 as default in the next version as one of the first big distros). That is why I think we should support both for now.

I would say that we can safely disregard everything < 2.7 as well as 3.0-3.2 (maybe even 3.3?).

In short, we support what we are testing against (see .travis.yml)
