I'm assuming that openstack doesnt work with python < 2.6 here (which I read somewhere on the wiki). This patch will check to make sure python >= 2.6 is installed, and also allow it to work with python 2.7 (and greater in the future).

In order for nova to work with python 2.7, it needs Cheetah 2.4.4, which also works fine in python 2.6 (all tests passed with Cheetah 2.4.4 and python 2.6 for me).
