SWIG claims to support Python 2.0 and up. I gather its probably not as
well maintained for versions that old since no one is using them. It
certainly has good support for 2.6 and up. If we are targeting specific
versions, we should support 2.6 and higher. The real issue in supporting
all these versions is testing them. We'll need to run tests on all the
specific versions we claim to support.
