[New-bugs-announce] [issue45638] Does ccbench still require 2.6 compatibility?

[Skip Montanaro]

New submission from Skip Montanaro <skip.montanaro at gmail.com>:

At the top of Tools/ccbench/ccbench.py is this comment dating from 2010 (probably in the initial version):

# This file should be kept compatible with both Python 2.6 and Python >= 3.0.

Is there still a need for 2.6 compatibility in what is essentially a test script? There are probably only a few changes necessary to remove 2.x compatibility, but it seems odd to retain them when even the Python library documentation no longer has versionchanged/versionadded directives referencing Python 2.x.
