Goal
Python 2.7 includes a new ordered dictionary type, faster I/O, and better forward compatibility with Python 3. Also included are the Python 2.7.8 interpreter, web-programming extension libraries and mod_wsgi for use with httpd24, PostgreSQL connectors, and the numpy and scipy modules for scientific applications. For more information, see https://www.python.org/
However, in Oracle Linux 6 latest channel ol6_latest ( http://yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL6/latest/x86_64/ , the available highest version is python-2.6.*.
Customer could not remove python-2.6* from Oracle Linux 6, because other OS functions need it.
