I use Debian testing, upon which Ubuntu is based. I use PyMOL with python 2.7 without any problem. The only problem I do have is that I have to compile it with gcc-4.5, rather than the default gcc-4.6 compiler (at least this was true the last time I checked a few weeks ago). I compile PyMOL myself after downloading from the SVN sources using the simple routine of: CC=gcc-4.5 python setup.py build python setup.py install --prefix=/software/Linux python setup2.py install The "--prefix" option just allows me to put the software on an NFS mounted disk, rather than on my own machine, so it is available to all the lab computers.
