This is for EPEL only, it is not for Fedora. 

This version of python is installed parallel to the system python on RHEL and
CentOS systems, it does not conflict with the system provided one, they will
happily coexist.

Python 2.7 will be the last of the line for the 2.x series, there will be no
python 2.8 (http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0404/).

Similar to dmalcolm's python26 RPMs, I modified Fedora 17's python 2.7 spec to
create a parallel installable version. A lot of the work was already done for
python2 vs python3 stuff, but there were still numerous things that had to be
modified to make it work on el5 and el6. The changes I did are listed in the
changelog.
