Fails to install on python 2.6

[mkumatag]

While installing through pip in Python 2.6 got following error message:

(jjb_env)[manjunath@oc1275007250 ~]$ pip install python-ipmi You are using pip version 7.1.0, however version 7.1.2 is available.

Should give me proper message saying not supported on 2.6.! should block installing on python 2.6 if not supported.

We only support python 2.7

[mkumatag]

if that is the case, why are we even packaging for 2.6?

[hthiery]

OK. I'm not realy sure. Do you know how to enable and fix this?
