My view on this is that lit is a testing tool. If someone is competent
enough to build LLVM and run the tests then they're probably competent
enough to build a newer version of Python if for some reason they
can't obtain pre-built version.

I use lit outside of LLVM for several projects but I always use Python
>= 2.7 so it's not a problem for me.

I'd also be in favour of bumping the required version higher and require 2.7
