The Braintree library provides integration access to the Braintree Gateway.

• Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.3, or 3.4
• requests

On Python 2.6 or 2.7 with default settings / requests:

No changes are required to upgrade to version 3.

On Python 2.6 or 2.7 with pycurl, httplib, or use_unsafe_ssl = True:

Install requests and test that you are able to connect to the Sandbox environment with version 3 and without specifying an HTTP strategy. The use_unsafe_ssl parameter will be ignored.

On Python 2.5:

Python 2.5 isn't supported by version 3 of the library. Most code that runs on 2.5 will work unmodified on Python 2.6. After making sure your code works on Python 2.6, follow the instructions above for upgrading from pycurl / httplib to requests.
