Currently we run tests using both py26 and py27, see the

* gate-fuel-web-python27 (openstack infra)
* verify-fuel-web-py27 (fuel infra)

So the question is should we drop py26 jobs? I think yes, we should..
but once CentOS 7 is merged.

I want to notice that, the py26 gate has been removed from openstack
infra in this patch [1] and due to this bug [2].

Honestly, I have no idea why there were no discussions regarding this
=/ it looks like Alex Kislitsky is issue reporter.
