Would love for feedback on how to make this script python 2.6 compatible! https://github.com/diafygi/acme-tiny/issues/9

I think it would be better to let 2.6 wither on the vine. Everyone is supposed to be migrating to 3.x. Supporting defunct 2.x series with new code doesn't help matters. Anyone so glacially stuck that they can't upgrade to 2.7 has more security issues than lack of HTTPS.

Agreed. 2.6 is was EOLed over 2 years ago and is consequently already missing significant security patches (e.g. CVE-2014-1912). I think it's unnecessary and maybe even unwise to support it, especially for a security-critical application.
