Require python 2.7.
We were already requiring 2.5, which meant that people on old linux distros had to upgrade anyway. Requiring python 2.6 will make supporting 3.X easier as we can use the 3.X exception syntax. According to the discussion on llvmdev, there is not much value is requiring just 2.6, we may as well just require 2.7. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@224129 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8 (cherry picked from commit 708bc15ff07dc2fcee3a66988bfc5bc15b80eb5f)
