For me, supporting only 2.7 and 3.3 would be fine.  That combination has a lot
of good history for single-code base bi-lingual Python[*].  Also supporting
2.6 and 3.2 probably isn't too much more difficult, and it may be worthwhile
depending on other clients of Storm inside and outside of Canonical.  But I
personally don't care about those older versions.

I'm happy chime in, advise, test, and review, but I don't have much time to
work on the port unfortunately, despite the fact that I would dearly love it.

Cheers,
-Barry
