I've added Python 3.5 and 3.6 to Travis in #49. I see this PR also mentions Python 2.6, do you see any reason to actively try and maintain support for it? |

That's becoming a FAQ ;-). We've had a discussion about this in the admins list. The fact is that a bunch of HEP software still uses Python 2.6 and we hence are trying (hard and painfully at times) to keep compatibility while we can. After all our software tends to live for a long time and we need long-term support. It is understood, though, that we will eventually drop 2.6. |

I see from Travis that the supported versions are presently 2.7 and 3.4. Would it be at all possible to add 3.5 and 3.6 as for scikit-hep, for consistency? Or that's too demanding right now because of the ROOT builds?
