+Tests use `pytest` and rely on:
 - Setting `QBATCH_SCRIPT_FOLDER` to a temp directory
 - Testing dry-run mode (`-n`) to avoid actual job submission
 - Simulating scheduler environment variables (e.g., `SGE_TASK_ID`, `PBS_ARRAYID`)
-- Using Python 2/3 compatibility via `future` library
 
 Tests are integration-style, generating actual job scripts and verifying they produce expected output when executed.
 
-## Python 2/3 Compatibility
-
-The codebase maintains Python 2.7+ compatibility using:
-- `future` library for standard library aliases
-- Custom `_EnvironDict` class for UTF-8 environment variable handling on Python 2
-- `io.open()` for UTF-8 file handling
-- Careful string/unicode handling

-- Uses `importlib.metadata` for version retrieval at runtime (line 9)
