git-p4 supports Python 2.6 and later versions of Python 2.  Since Python
2.8 will never exist [1], it is most concise to just list the supported
versions.

Thanks; Eric's patch recently updated git-p4.py to require 2.4 I
think. Shouldn't it also be updated?

I haven't done a thorough audit to check what the actual minimum
supported version is, this is just the minimal change to say "not
Python 3".

Personally, I'm not sure of the value of having version checks at the
top of the Python scripts, I would rather set a project-wide minimum
supported version (as in my recent CodingGuidelines patch) and check it
once in the Makefile.
