On this topic...

I've just seen the following from Python-announce, it's probably not the
first time they say it, but it's the first time I pay attention:

> Python 3.4 is now in "security fixes only" mode.  This is the final
stage of support for Python 3.4.  Python 3.4 now only receives security
fixes, not bug fixes, and Python 3.4 releases are source code only--no
more official binary installers will be produced.

It's great that we can now focus on using only Python 2.7 for trunk, and
though I'd love to be able to continue to have only that version in
mind, I see that the interest for supporting Python 3.x is there, so I
won't stand in the way, and maybe even help out a bit...

But I don't want to have to take into account more quirks than necessary
by supporting already deprecated 3.x versions. So can we please forget
about 3.4 support, at the very least?

Supporting 3.5 and 3.6 will "only" triple the maintenance cost for
running tests and the risks of hitting bugs and quirks specific to this
or that Python version (we already were there). Personally I'll focus on
3.5, I think.

So here's my strong vote for supporting only Python 3.5 and 3.6 for Trac
1.3.2, let's forget about the earlier 3.x versions.

P.S: and Ian, it's Jinja2, not jinga2 (nor ginsha ;-) )
