Comment #5 on issue 1531 by pekka.klarck: Document that running acceptance tests requires Python 2.6 or newer
http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=1531

I still think supporting 2.5 doesn't make much sense. The main reasons are:
- Nobody has really needed it.
- We plan to raise the minimum version to 2.6 or 2.7 as soon as Jython 2.7 is ready or can be considered stable enough.
- It's great not to care about 2.5 in some code.
- Unless we actually run these tests with 2.5 in CI, we couldn't be sure would 2.5 work anymore in the future. It's easy to ignore `from __futere__ import with_statement` etc.

I do think requiring 2.6 or newer should definitely be documented better. Updated the summary of this issue accordingly.
