Fall back to older signature like functionality for older versions of Python

[mandli]

PR #136 introduced some improvements to runclaw and data.py that are not backwards compatible with older versions of Python. It looks like there is not a clean way to do this so we will have to add some version checking to see what version to use.

This is fixed in branch. This branch still needs to deal with issue in runclaw as well. @bolliger32 we should also look at runclaw to figure what needs to be made backward compatible.

@mandli Is there more to runclaw that needs to be made backward compatible? Or did you solve it with PR #136. Couldn't quite tell from the above.

[mandli]

I think that branch has it (mentioned above). Otherwise PR #138 has everything.

[bolliger32]

got it. Looks good to me!
