I would humbly like to suggest icalendar drop support for Python 2.6.
The last release of Python 2.6 was 2013-10-29. It is no longer receiving
security or bug fixes.
https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0361/
The pip project itself has decided to drop support for 2.6. At the
beginning of the year, their numbers estimated that Python 2.6 accounts
for ~2% of their downloads.
https://github.com/pypa/pip/pull/4343
For projects that still use Python 2.6, they can continue to pip install
an older version.
I've tried my best to remove as much 2.6 specific code as I can,
including the 'Programming Language :: Python :: 2.6' trove classifier
from setup.py. I've also removed Travis CI testing, which should result
in slightly faster testing and fewer wasted resources.
Changed:
* Update documented Python support and trove classifiers
* Update Travis test matrix and tox test matrix
* Use set literals (and more literals in general)
* Use dict comprehension
* Remove dependencies on ordereddict and unittest2
* Remove u string prefix, use more modern unicode literals instead
In some place Python 2.6's str.format is used, so i also polished some other places:
- use decorator @staticmethod
- removed double spaces
- put two spaces before comments in the same line wit code
- exceptions raising in form Exception()
- using ternary "operator": result = True if condition else False
- if using a newer version of Python, do not load unittest2
