I had a quick look into it. The upstream source doesn't look like it supports python 2.7 at all. Note the get_python() method in /freevo, which still hard-codes 2.5 and 2.6 in upstream svn HEAD. At the very least, that would have to be fixed for 2.7, but there are almost certainly other issues too. Note the child.fromchild.close() in the same method, which isn't something available in subprocess. (LP: #474854) Ubuntu just changed the supported versions in debian/pyversions to attempt to support Python 2.7, but it's running into the issues mentioned above, leading to LP: #758821. (Ubuntu people who touched this CCed) I can't see any other distros that have a 2.7 patch, or even any mention of 2.7 in the upstream bugtracker.
