The original goal of this PR was to test versions 3.5 and 3.6.

However it turned out that the tests fail entirely because the latest version of tornado (a dependency) no longer supports Python 2.6 and 3.3 due to security vulnerabilities. I think this is a strong motivation for dropping support in this library too. For reference, the last Python 2.6 release was 2013-10-29 and the last 3.2 release was 2014-10-12.

Thoughts @callum-oakley?

The tests now seem to be failing, and I'm not sure why. I'm going to revert this branch on master and figure out what the problem is when I have more time.

Ahh sorry @WillSewell, didn't see this the other day 😬 In response to the original question dorpping support sounds like a good idea 👍

Happy to take a look at the test failures with you at some point if that's still an issue.
