Right now we just state that "Whipper is a Python 2 CD-DA ripper", but doesn't state which Python 2(s).
We should probably declare somewhere what version(s) of Python we (intend to) support. I would suggest either:
requests
or another 3rd party library to handle HTTP stuff, using Python <2.7.9's standard handling of this might lead to unexpected errors on platforms we claim to support.The first "looks prettier" but also suggests that 2.7.0 should work. 2.7.9+ is a bit more verbose, but denotes that whipper may not work well with older Pythons. However, Ubuntu Trusty (14.04 LTS) ships with Python 2.7.6, so there will still be a number of wild Python <2.7.9's out there for a while to come.
All this said, Python 2 will be unsupported from Python itself in 2020, 3 years from now, so maybe this doesn't matter much and we should just focus on moving to Python 3 ASAP (#78).
