* Specify versions of Python supported, as trove classifiers.

* Update copyright notices.
* Add editor hints for most files.
* Distinguish continuation-line indentation versus block indentation.

* Use unicode literals by default, specifying bytes where necessary.

  copyright notices.

* Change license of library code to Apache License 2.0. Rationale at
