The INSTALL document says python >= 2.6 is needed. The simplest way to fix this problem is to update the INSTALL document to say "python >= 2.7". Does this sound like the correct solution?

Hmm, interesting idea but not really sure where it would best live. We can put
it in setup.py, but then my recommendation to people that want to use
virt-manager.git is just to run virt-manager right from the git repo without
invoking setup.py, which wouldn't get the benefit. Not sure if you have any
thoughts
