Hi Mike,

it's great to hear that you're working on providing new rpm packages.
Support for Python 2.6 has not been dropped, yet. However, this version
is not really tested at the moment.

Thank you.

I built 1.11 in Copr for EPEL 6 and it appears to be working
successfully in my CentOS 6.7 test VM.

I'll probably suggest to the Fedora maintainer that we release 2
separate updates (like an Ubuntu SRU) to 1.11:
- 1 update for EPEL7, Fedora 22, and Fedora 23, which all have Python 2.7.
- A separate update for EPEL6, which only has Python 2.6.
This way, if a user finds a regression under EPEL 6, it won't block the
other releases from being updated.
Sounds good to me :)

Cheers,
Jendrik
