The test directory contains some unit and performance tests for Scintilla.
-The tests can only be run on Windows using Python 3.x. Running on another platform
-would require writing a file similar to XiteWin.py for that platform. Python 3.x is required
-because its default string type is Unicode and earlier Python versions use byte strings
-and the interface to the platform assumes a particular string type.
+The tests can only be run on Windows using Python 2.7 or 3.x. Running on another platform
+would require writing a file similar to XiteWin.py for that platform. Python 2.7+ is required
+because the bytes string type and literals are available.
A test application is in xite.py and this can be run to experiment:
pythonw xite.py
