I know about python26 for RHEL5
 http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=10196
haven't seen python27 for RHEL6...
Anyway, why not just upgrade to EL7 instead of creating unsupportable
monster on EL6 ?

It will be more work, there's at least systemd  / initscripts
difference and too old python libraries on EL6, also need to review
what libvirt/qemu/kernel features are actually available on EL6,
e.g. nova/virt/libvirt/driver.py is checking libvirt version while EL6
libvirt might have backported features in the lower version.
