+Currently, we provide tox environments for Python 2.7. By default
 all available test environments within the tox configuration will execute
 when calling ``tox``. If you want to run them independently, you can do so

 .. code-block:: bash
 
-    # Executes tests on Python 2.6
-    tox -e py26
-
     # Executes tests on Python 2.7
