Description

pip install kudu-python appears to be broken on EL6 / CentOS 6 due to end-of-life of Python 2.6. The latest versions of pip (10.x) don't seem to work on Python 2.6 and pip can't seem to find pytest-runner when I install it (maybe I am missing something):

[mpercy@vc1320 lib64]$ pip install --user pytest-runner
You are using pip version 7.1.0, however version 10.0.1 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command.
