An interesting read regarding dropping support for Python 2.6.  
http://www.curiousefficiency.org/posts/2015/04/stop-supporting-python26.html

We could ask our RHEL6 users why they are not able to use the available 'Python 
Upgrade Paths' described there.

It is more feasible to keep 2.6 users supported if they are using master.

We are not going to backport python 2.6 fixes to v2.0, as that would require a 
panicked response and a release whenever a dependency drops 2.6 support, which 
isnt worth the effort.

i.e. we believe python 2.6 can't be stable, and is 'best-effort' support only.  
It will break occasionally for reasons beyond our control.

A stable release drops support while master, supposedly bleeding edge, carries 
on? WTF?

A good step forward would be to segregate py2.6-specific code into a separate 
file.
