#282: Update minimum python version requirement to 2.6

 Supporting RHEL-5 (python-2.4) isn't fun.  The packaging and python
 support is so dramatically different.  I'd like to upgrade our
 autoqa/autotest server to use RHEL-6.  I'd consider using a stable Fedora
 release, but as tflink pointed out, I'm even less excited about updating
 our infrastructure every 6 months.

 This ticket is intended to track:
  1. Removal of the epel-5 packages and repositories
  2. Any code updates/simplification (e.g. use of finally)

Comment (by jlaska):

 For me, the only outstanding question for this ticket is whether
 autoqa.spec needs to be updated to ensure python > 2.4 is available (or
 python >= 2.6).  Aside from a simple ''Requires: python >= 2.6'',
I'm not
 sure if more work is needed, or if there is a more appropriate method.

 The python packaging page doesn't highlight anything obvious at the moment
 (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Python).  Perhaps it might help
 to look for other packages that require specific versions of python?
