Minimum Version of Python-3.x and Python-2.x
--------------------------------------------
In both controller side and module code, we support Python-3.5 or greater and Python-2.6 or
greater. Python-3.5 was chosen as a minimum because it is the earliest Python-3 version
adopted as the default Python by a Long Term Support (LTS) Linux distribution (in this case, Ubuntu-16.04).
Previous LTS Linux distributions shipped with a Python-2 version which users can rely upon instead of the
Python-3 version.
On the controller we support Python-3.5 or greater and Python-2.7 or greater. Module-side, we
support Python-3.5 or greater and Python-2.6 or greater.

For Python 2, the default is for modules to run on at least Python-2.6. This allows
users with older distributions that are stuck on Python-2.6 to manage their
machines. Modules are allowed to drop support for Python-2.6 when one of
their dependent libraries requires a higher version of Python. This is not an
