Currently our README file says:<br>
<br>
We currently recommend using Python 2.7 from <a href="http://www.python.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.python.org</a> which<br>
is the final version of Python 2. Early adopters are encouraged to try<br>
Biopython under Python 3.3, 3.4, or 3.5 but not all the optional dependencies<br>
are available yet.<br>
<br>
Would anyone object to a more forward looking phrasing, e.g.<br>
<br>
We currently recommend using Python 3.5 from <a href="http://www.python.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.python.org</a> and avoiding<br>
legacy Python 2.6 or 2.7 unless your choice is restricted due to having to work<br>
with old code.<br>
