Hi!
I mistakenly assigned this bug to myself—I wanted to assign to myself the bug for EPEL 7 not 5. I'm sorry for the confusion and I'm reverting it back now.

That being said, I have a working patch for Python 2.6 that should fix the issue so I'll attach it to this bug for you to use if you wish.

Patch for Python 2.6 that should fix this issue.

Comment 4 Fedora End Of Life 2017-04-06 10:11:41 UTC
Fedora EPEL 5 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-03-31. Fedora EPEL 5
is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora
or Fedora EPEL, please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If
you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current
release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
