The biggest problem is having to use old LTS distros in production that only have python 2.6 for example. I'm glad that most LTS versions are soon to be using python 2.7.
I know 2.7 has been around for a long time, but so much production software is running on RHEL/Centos systems with 2.6.

- cyann 14y agoYou can find python26 in EPEL [1] or follow this guide [2] to setup 2.7. This will install 2.6 or 2.7 in parallel, do not set these by default as it will break yum.
