William Ting e75d4d4d11 Drop official support for Python 3.2.
It looks like pip 8.x has dropped support for Python 3.2 and is causing test
build problems. Since Python 3.3, 3.4, and 3.5 are supported I don't see any
issues with dropping 3.2 test coverage although it will probably still work.

NAME
----
autojump - a faster way to navigate your filesystem
DESCRIPTION
-----------
autojump is a faster way to navigate your filesystem. It works by
maintaining a database of the directories you use the most from the
command line.
*Directories must be visited first before they can be jumped to.*
USAGE
-----
`j` is a convenience wrapper function around `autojump`. Any option that
can be used with `autojump` can be used with `j` and vice versa.
- Jump To A Directory That Contains `foo`:
j foo
- Jump To A Child Directory:
Sometimes it's convenient to jump to a child directory
(sub-directory of current directory) rather than typing out the full
name.

- Open File Manager To Directories (instead of jumping):
Instead of jumping to a directory, you can open a file explorer
window (Mac Finder, Windows Explorer, GNOME Nautilus, etc.) to the
directory instead.

Opening a file manager to a child directory is also supported:
jco images
- Using Multiple Arguments:
Let's assume the following database:
30 /home/user/mail/inbox
10 /home/user/work/inbox
`j in` would jump into /home/user/mail/inbox as the higher weighted
entry. However you can pass multiple arguments to autojump to prefer
a different entry. In the above example, `j w in` would then change
directory to /home/user/work/inbox.
For more options refer to help:
autojump --help
INSTALLATION
------------
### REQUIREMENTS
- Python v2.6+ (except Python3.2)
- Supported shells:
- bash v4.0+

### AUTOMATIC
#### Linux
autojump is included in the following distro repositories, please use
relevant package management utilities to install (e.g. yum, apt-get,
etc):
- Debian testing/unstable, Ubuntu, Linux Mint
All Debian-derived distros require manual activation for policy
reasons, please see `/usr/share/doc/autojump/README.Debian`.

`autojump-fish` for fish, etc.)

-------
Windows support is enabled by [clink](https://mridgers.github.io/clink/)
which should be installed prior to installing autojump.

git clone git://github.com/joelthelion/autojump.git

KNOWN ISSUES
------------
- autojump does not support directories that begin with `-`.
- For bash users, autojump keeps track of directories by modifying
`$PROMPT_COMMAND`. Do not overwrite `$PROMPT_COMMAND`:
export PROMPT_COMMAND="history -a"
Instead append to the end of the existing $PROMPT\_COMMAND:
export PROMPT_COMMAND="${PROMPT_COMMAND:+$PROMPT_COMMAND ;} history -a"
