[LLVMdev] [RFC] Requiring python 2.6

[Filipe Cabecinhas]

I'm all for… Trying to require 2.7 if possible? :-) Since we're bumping the
req, we might as well bump as far as we can.
That way we can also remove some compatibility things from (at least) lldb.
(I haven't even tried 2.6 in a while, so it might not work due to other
changes)
