Well, in this case supporting seems not too problematic. Not sure, just some considerations.

Python 2.6 's last bug fix release was only few days ago, and it is still found around in production, so for testing it may make sense. And, there are as still few modules available only for py26. Python 3.1 is probably not used a lot (so okay), but again 3.2 seems to have more modules available than 3.3.
