Python 2.7 by default for Python (and possibly drop Python 2.6 if the 
transition goes well).

I'd like to see Python 2.7 default when the archive opens and then assess near 
feature freeze if we can drop 2.6 support or not.

I'd like to see us support Python3 3.1 and 3.2 with a decision for what's 
default near feature freeze.

The Python part of this can't wait until UDS to decide.
