Craig Citro 85b06e15ea Fail on python3 versions before 3.3, and add docs.
Updates `README.md` and `docs/index.rst` with a note about supported
versions. (Also drops a really stale note about dependencies.)

oauth2client
============
*making OAuth2 just a little less painful*
``oauth2client`` makes it easy to interact with OAuth2-protected resources,
especially those related to Google APIs. You can also start with `general
information about using OAuth2 with Google APIs
<https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/OAuth2>`_.
Getting started
---------------
We recommend installing via ``pip``::
$ pip install --upgrade oauth2client
You can also install from source::
$ git clone https://github.com/google/oauth2client
$ cd oauth2client
$ python setup.py install

Supported Python Versions
-------------------------
We support Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.3+. (Whatever this file says, the truth is
always represented by our `tox.ini`_).
.. _tox.ini: https://github.com/google/oauth2client/blob/master/tox.ini
We explicitly decided to support Python 3 beginning with version
3.3. Reasons for this include:
* Encouraging use of newest versions of Python 3
* Following the lead of prominent `open-source projects`_
* Unicode literal support which
allows for a cleaner codebase that works in both Python 2 and Python 3
