[OWSLib-devel] tests updates and Python 2.6 support

[Tom Kralidis]

Hi all: FYI I've made some initial attempts at cleaning up some of the test
failures. Here's the current status:

- 2.6 tests error out when trying to pip install Pillow for some reason. Any
ideas/help on figuring this one would be great.  Having said this, should we
consider dropping 2.6 support altogether given the continuing move to py3k?
What do folks think?

- 2.7 yields 8 errors.  Some code fixes, but mostly updates to tests
given changes in remote services

- 3.4 yields 13 and 16 errors mostly bound to py3k-isms (order of dicts, etc.);
the differences in the number of errors look to be bound to moving parts of
remote services

I'll try to fix the remaining tests when I have more time, but if devs can
take a crack at fixing that would be much appreciated.

It goes without saying that we need to find a more stable suite of test
services.  Perhaps creating a setup/bundle via Docker is an option (Travis-CI
appears to support Docker environments).  Any ideas?

Cheers
