Yes, this is not ideal.

python-prettytable 0.5 and 0.6 have completely different APIs.
Now, given that the only user of prettytable within EPEL is OpenStack currently,
and the prettytable update was combined with an update to move OpenStack
to the Folsom version which requires prettytable 0.6, it was
thought best to just update prettytable to 0.6.

If you want to support OpenStack Essex on EPEL, you'll need
to use http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/openstack/openstack-essex/epel-6/
Details at: http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/openstack/openstack-essex/README
That has the appropriate version of prettytable included.
