Looks like py26 support might be a blocker here. While we've brought
pyghmi into the ironic project, it's still a project mostly built and
maintained
by Jarrod, and he has customers outside of OpenStack that depend on it.
The ironic team will have to discuss this with Jarrod and find a good path
forward.

My initial thought is that we need to move forward on this, so
perhaps we can release this change as a major version, and keep a py26
branch that can be released on the previous minor version for the people
that need this on 2.6. Thoughts?
