Do we have any figures about how many people are still using SymPy with 2.6?
There were some Android issues last time dropping 2.6 came up, IIRC.

Btw, IPython also doesn't support Python 2.6, and I bet IPython is
used by more people than SymPy, so if it is good for IPython, I think
it will be good for us as well.

That's a rather weak argument, too:
- You compare just a specialized niche of the Python users.
- The SymPy 2.6 percentage might be higher than the Python 2.6 percentage (some specialiced niche).

There's a reason why I prefer hard numbers.
BTW weak arguments are all too often a disguise of wishful thinking - we'd all *like* to drop 2.6, so there's a tendency to name all the arguments in favor however weak they are, and ignore those against. I'm currently wearing my Devil's Advocate hat to counter that effect, actually I'd be fine with dropping 2.6 ;-)
