Correction, openstack dropped python 2.6 support in its kilo release, you can of course run python 2.7 on centos6.x/rhel6.x (and I know companies doing this, including godaddy and yahoo) via a variety of manners, and then openstack will work for you again (until u can shift to centos7.x or rhel7.x).
