        Python Support
        ==============
        * pyVmomi 5.5.0_2014.1 and later support Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.3 and 3.4
        * pyVmomi 5.5.0 and below support Python 2.6 and 2.7
        
        Compatibility Policy
        ====================
        pyVmomi versions are marked **vSphere version** _separator_ **release version**. Pyvmomi maintains minimum backward compatibility
        with the previous _four_ releases of *vSphere* and it's own previous four releases. Compatibility with much older versions may
        continue to work but will not be actively supported.
        
        For example, version **v5.5.0**_2014.1 is most compatible with vSphere 5.5, 5.1, 5.0, and 4.1 and was the first release in
        2014. Initial releases compatible with a version of vSphere will bare a naked version number of **v5.5.0** indicating that
        version of pyVmomi was released simultaneously with the *GA* version of vSphere with the same version number.
