[lttng-dev] [PATCH babeltrace 1/2] Added Python 3.0 or better requirement to the README file

[Mathieu Desnoyers]

Hi Yannick,

Please list all the distro and distro versions you care about that still
ship with python 2.7 by default today, along with the time-frame for
which they are going to still be supported by the vendors, and whether
those distributions allow users to install python 3.0 side-by-side with
2.7 or not.

Thanks,

Mathieu
