Older but still supported versions of Debian and CentOS are still using Python
2, but it's 2.7 rather than 2.6.
I think we should keep supporting 2.7. But I don't do much work with Python.
How much of a pain is supporting Python 2?
It is not currently much of a pain to support Python 2. I was trying to phrase it so that if no one is (provably) using it or it became a hassle, we would have an out.

Is there a supported distro that is still using 2.6?
2.4
- OS4Depot
2.5
- Maemo Fremantle
2.6
- Centos 6
- Rosa Server 6.9
2.7
- AIX
- BlackArch
- Slackware 14.2
Everything else has Python 3 as an option.
