Proposal: Support for only Python 3

I noticed on the official README that blockcypher Python SDK supports Python 2.6.

More features and support for more endpoints coming soon. Should support python 2.6+ and python3.x, but hasn't been thoroughly tested on 2.6+. Native support for datetime conversions. Issues and pull requests much appreciated!

I believe legacy systems will likely be relying on Python 2 but it brings up the question of how secure will these systems be if they are kept on unsupported Python versions.

If possible, can the blockcypher Python SDK support only Python 3 and the statement rephrased?

More features and support for more endpoints are on the way. Python 3.x should be supported, but it hasn't been properly tested on 2.6+, which is no longer supported. Datetime conversions are supported natively. Issues and pull requests are much welcomed!

I believe supporting mainly python3 will improve the overall security and further help the entire community adopt modern features introduced into the language.
