Hi all,
For those on RHEL6 or a derivative, please note that RHEL Software
Collections will provide an installation source for Python 2.7 and
3.3, as well as Postgres 9.2 and both MySQL 5.5 and MariaDB 5.5, and
works for RHELs 6.2-6.4.
Furthermore, "With the notable exception of Node.js, all Red Hat
Software Collections components are fully supported under Red Hat
Enterprise Linux Subscription Level Agreements, are functionally
complete, and are intended for production use."

I ran across this announcement via Nick Coghlan.
So, there's a supported version of Python 2.7 and 3.3 for RHEL 6,
which should make Python deprecation choices easier. I would suggest
that the above link get some mention in the documentation, as this
will make things much easier to sell in shops that value stability and
support, if this alternative solution is better known.
Regards,
---Peter

As far as I can tell, there's a consensus on dropping support for
Python 2.6. That will allow us to remove the vendored copy of
unittest2 and to take advantage of datastructures introduced in
Python 2.7 like OrderedDict.
Oh yes, getting rid of our vendored unittest2 is totally worth it
(debugging failures when someone imports from below
django.utils.unittest2 is no fun)!

Thanks Peter.
This is the first I've seen this. I think I'll check with those at
CentOS to see if they are supporting this and if not if they have any
plans to do so.

I should read more before I post. I think this is going to work just
fine for us on CentOS 6. I will continue testing locally. Thank you
everyone for your time, suggestions, and added info on package availability.
