Python 2.6 support

[alexandernilsson]

Would it be possible to support Python 2.6? CentOS/RHEL 6 is still using it.

I have made some effort in that direction. What errors are you running into?

[alexandernilsson]

What I've found so far:

• Usage of subprocess.check_output() in setup.py
• Usage of logging.NullHandler() in deimos/logging.py
• Usage of logging.getChild() in integration-test/deimos-test.py

After that I got stuck on what I suspect is a unrelated issue while trying to run the tests. I'll investigate more tomorrow.

Just hit this myself. Deimos is the only reason to bump to mesos 0.19.x for me, maybe I'm better waiting for EL7 to get more mainstream.

Any followup on this? I'd be interested as well.
