Yes I think that pygrass is not supporting Python < 2.6, too. I was
asking about python 2.6, only to know if the module orderdict in
pygrass is still necessary or not (and it is!) :-D.

Between python 2.6 and 2.7, as far as I know, there are not big
differences in term of portability to python3, so both versions should
be fine.
