One more issue to solve before we can deprecate Python 2.6: we need to support Python on all the platforms on which we're building. Our current Solaris 9 builds are functioning thanks to an old Python 2.6 build on Solaris 9. If we want to get rid of Python 2.6, we need to make 2.7 work on Solaris 9, or stop building on Solaris 9.
