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.
