Incompatiblity with Python 2.6

[Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis]

python-distutils-extra >=2.34 uses sys.version_info.major, which does not work with Python 2.6. sys.version_info works as a named tuple since Python 2.7. bytes.decode() and str.encode() accept keyword argument also only Python 2.7.
