Description

You can specify a specifiv version of python to use in the Traviis build process and that will set up the build environment to use a python virtualenv with that version of python.

When using python 2.6 or 3.4 (and probably 3.3 too but I've not tested that)
the cmake installed will find the python 2.7 libs and link them into the proton bindings extension. This seems to succeed at build time but seems to make the "python-test" fail to even start in both cases (though with slightly different symptoms).
