============
The PyMongo distribution is supported and tested on Python 2.x (where
x >= 4) and Python 3.x (where x >= 1). PyMongo versions <= 1.3 also
supported Python 2.3, but that is no longer supported.
x >= 6) and Python 3.x (where x >= 2). PyMongo versions before 3.0 also
support Python 2.4, 2.5, and 3.1.
