There is a solution to this, and Nick Coghlan has mentioned it to me

Collections is RH's answer to "new software" on "stable
distributions" -- SCLs operate side-by-side with system packages, so
it won't break anything. Since you're a CentOS 6.7 user, the standard
SCL should work (it's 6.5+).
I really disliked the SCLs when I looked at it. The supported use-case
seems to be a kind of hugely over-engineered set of wrapper/environment
setup scripts:
scl enable python2.7 pip install blah
...ad infinitum.
Personally - and I guess for others as well - the SCLs will be
off-putting. It's a shame there isn't a simpler solution, namely EPEL
python2.7 - having a 2nd python in a different path is quite safe, we do
it routinely.
It's hugely annoying that RHEL6 and derivatives missed out on Python 2.7 :o(
