We have a set of tests to ensure we support Python both 2.x and 3.x. To test it out, please make sure you have python 2.7 and python 3.4 installed in you system. Then install "tox" either globally (preferred way) or in your local environment.

# apt-get install python-tox

or

$ pip install tox

Then just type

$ tox
