If we're going to advance the required version of python, I'd like to do it as the result of a thorough discussion, not as the side effect of an unintentional commit. If we want to get input from users, we could ask on the gem5-users list, and give them a chance to speak up before we slip in a stealth compatibility test. I'm curious what other features of 2.7 people are interested in taking advantage of that aren't in 2.6. The importlib thing is nice, but as I said before, not totally compelling.
