The Python core team[*1] stopped supporting python 2.6. Some Python
libraries started following the same path and trying to support 2.6
becomes painful...
For example, most of you already noticed, oslo.config dropped 2.6
support. I tried to work around it with the following commit:
2250171098
But this forces users of decent distributions (e.g Ubuntu 14.04) to
upgrade pip (old pip versions can't understand version conditions).
