change from v1:
- changed from Python 2.6 to Python 2.4 based on

While the tools are broke with Python 2.4 currently there are
some scripts that people have an interest in still being able
to run with Python 2.4 so changed the documented information there.
I'm working on some updates to the Travis CI test loop (actually
switching to GitLab CI) to give us more flexibility in what is
being tested.
