The nupic-linux64 repository is a work-in-progress and provides a pre-built environment with dependencies already installed. Unfortunately, it targets 2.6 specifically and won't work if you want to use 2.7. It's not required at all.
It's absolutely possible to use NuPIC with Python 2.7. You will need to have the development headers installed as well as the other dependencies listed in the README. Specifically GCC, make, and pip.
