Worked flawlessly for me on CentOS 5.11 x86_64, thanks @jryberg @nmilford :)


Off-topic question: what's the recommended way to easily deploy pip and virtualenv too? On my first test machine I just ran python -m ensurepip (which is a neat addition in 2.7.9) and pip-installed virtualenv, but I'm not fond of this, because it:

  1. Deploys old versions (which can be upgraded).
  2. Will yield different results across time when pip/virtualenv are upgraded, making deployments non-repeatable.

Would you recommend packing them in the same RPM through the python27.spec or building two additional RPMs?
