Python 2.6 has reached EOL:

https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0361/#release-lifespan

Support can be dropped. I can do a pull request if you are ok with this.

Hi Carlos,

Do you think there is anything to remove?

Hi Yuri,

It's just in tox.ini and the comments in setup.py. It's not a big deal but there's a warning about python 2.6 support when I run the tests.

The CI is also failing on latest master for Python 2.6 with:

ERROR:   py26: InterpreterNotFound: python2.6

And also for 3.3, which is also EOL:

ERROR:   py33: InterpreterNotFound: python3.3

https://travis-ci.org/hugovk/python-readability/builds/307586802

Here's the pip installs for readability-lxml from PyPI for the last month (via pypinfo --percent --pip readability-lxml pyversion) -- only 2 for 2.6, and nothing for 3.3.

python_version percent download_count
2.7 60.1% 3,198
3.5 20.8% 1,108
3.6 11.6% 615
3.4 7.5% 397
2.6 0.0% 2

Please see PR #100 to drop 2.6 and 3.3.
