Well the fact is that RHEL 6 uses Python 2.6 as a core system package. Many system utilities depend on it, so it cannot be replaced with a newer version. You must install the newer version alongside the old version. This can be easily accomplished with Redhat's Software Collections system. I have Python 2.7 and 3.4 installed on my RHEL6 box with this machanism. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
