v0.24 and later are broken on Python 2.7

Hi there,

I could have sworn I reported this already but apparently I forgot. Apologies if I did and this is a duplicate.

Recently when working on legacy versions of some projects I found that Python 2.7 isn't supported any more with 0.24 and later (gives a syntax error when bundling).

Considering 2.7 is now EOL, I guess this might be intentional, but in that case perhaps the PyPI information can be updated to show that Python 2.7 isn't supported any more?

I haven't intentionally dropped support for 2.7, but don't test with it either.

I'll see if I can push out a release that works on 2.7 again, and will change package metadata afterwards to ensure that pip notices that newer versions don't work with 2.7.

Version 0.28 should be compatible with python 2.7 again when it gets released.

I'm leaving the issue open because I'll add a minimum python version to PKG-INFO after the release of 0.28 to ensure that python2.7 won't try to use a newer version.

This is fixed in 0.28, and I've dropped support for Python 2 (and Python <= 3.5) in the main branch (which will be 0.29 later)
