RHEL6 looks like it supports 2.5 and 2.6 would you then need 2.5 support or
your app would work with the latest version available on the system OS?

I'll do a maintenance branch for 1.2 before we start on 1.3 and we can
continue to do bugfix releases but maybe people using older versions Python
should start pinning their versions or FormEncode to < 1.3 so that you
don't get version that don't work for you on PyPI.

I want to have a mixed 2.x 3.x code base and not have to deal with 2to3 and
some of the things you need to do to make it work with older versions of
Python (like <
http://docs.pythonsprints.com/python3_porting/py-porting.html#handling-exceptions>)
are not pretty. Making 2.6 be the lowest supporte version make things much
simpler.
