Worst case if anyone wants to use `future` for Python 2.6 and Python 3.3, they can always use an older version of `future`.\r\n\r\nPython 2.6 is blocking us from moving to Github Action, since Github's https://github.com/actions/setup-python does not support Python 2.6 anymore (see [full list](https://github.com/actions/python-versions/blob/main/versions-manifest.json)).","author":{"url":"https://github.com/sfdye","@type":"Person","name":"sfdye"},"datePublished":"2020-11-27T00:50:32.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":3},"url":"https://github.com/580/python-future/issues/580"}
