[requirements.txt](https://bitbucket.org/openpyxl/openpyxl/src/7e42546674ebeb0e518d1a058abbb1a6d6f7fd1c/requirements.txt?at=default&fileviewer=file-view-default) outlines many incompatible dependencies

[setup.py](https://bitbucket.org/openpyxl/openpyxl/src/7e42546674ebeb0e518d1a058abbb1a6d6f7fd1c/setup.py?at=default&fileviewer=file-view-default) calls for python versions of 2.7+
