Python 2.6 Syntax Errors #141
Description
The README states that Python 2.6 is supported. However, I am getting syntax errors, one of them being a dictionary comprehension which I know isn't supported in 2.6. I'm surprised no one has reported this yet. Did I do something wrong?

SyntaxError: invalid syntax
After fixing the above with self._iterencode_json(dict((n, v) for n, v in metadata if v is not None), 0) I got another syntax error:

SyntaxError: invalid syntax
There may be more. Is splunk-sdk supposed to support Python 2.6? If so, can these errors be fixed? You can reproduce with the following code:
from splunklib.searchcommands import dispatch, StreamingCommand, Configuration, Option, validatorsMy environment:
$ python -V
Python 2.6.6
$ pip freeze | grep splunk
splunk-sdk==1.5.0
Thanks!
