Hi all, I saw that Tempest will drop python 2.6 support in design summit https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/icehouse-summit-qa-parallel.

Well so if you're running a single-node setup of OpenStack on a VM on top of RHEL 6 and running Tempest from there, yeah, this is an inconvenience, but it's a pretty simple fix, right? I just run my OpenStack RHEL 6 VM and have an Ubuntu 12.04 or Fedora 19 or whatever distro-that-supports-py27 I want running Tempest against it. Am I missing something?
FWIW, trying to keep up with the changes in Tempest when you're running on python 2.6 is no fun, especially with how tests are skipped (skipException causes a test failure if you don't have a special environment variable set). Plus you don't get parallel execution of the tests.
So I agree with the approach even though it's going to hurt me in the short-term.
