Hi Alec, I see you mention you are using Python 2.7.12 and Red Hat 4.4.7-15. I have only tested it on Python 2.7.6 and Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. I am not sure how open you are to this, but you could also create a VM on Red Hat with Python 2.7.6 and running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS? This shoud save you the pain of having to port.
I am afraid I have no other suggestions at this time, otherwise you may have to go through this exercise of porting.
