Thanks Peter, I heard support for 2.6 will be dropped, that is why I was investigating using 2.7 right now. I will try to stage an update to 16.01 then and see how that works!

Galaxy v16.01 will not have any egg problems because all the Python dependencies are now done using the wheel format, plus a Galaxy modified version of pip to handle tracking Linux binary compatibility. Also Galaxy v16.01 will likely be the final release to support Python 2.6, so its good you're already looking at Python 2.7 :) https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/issues/1596 Peter
