[Sugar-devel] Bump Python dependency from 2.5 to 2.6

[Simon Schampijer]

Hi,

raised during the review of [1] some code was relying on Python 2.6 
(with open(COUNTRY_CODES_PATH) as codes_file:).

Is it sane to switch to this Python version for the Sugar platform? More 
readings on what is new in 2.6 at [2]. Python 2.6 is available in F11, 
hence 0.84. Not sure for the other distributions...

Objections, comments?

Thanks,
    Simon
