 What's the oldest Python 2.x version they will work with?

 Support for 2.7 is essential. We've been trying to maintain support for
 2.6, but that may have to change in order to support 3.x.

 The lib/python/ctypes/fix.sed script inserts those imports.

 If the `__future__` import needs to be at the very start of the file, add
 the command
 {{{
 1i \
 from __future__ import absolute_import
 }}}
 to the script.

 If it just needs to be before any imports, add it to the start of the
 existing imports in the script.
