Description

Python 2.6 has been on life support for a long time — it was present because of RHEL 6 which is out of support by the end of previous year. Since Python 2.6 is gone from Proton, as of PROTON-2319, now is a good time to remove the remaining awkward bits of code that only exist to support Python 2.6 in Dispatch.

Python 2.7 - you're next!
