Pretty much every rest_api test fails because of Python package issues.
The last errors are related to txaio and twisted.
The latest version of twisted to support python 2.6 is 14 which starts  a
cascade of package interdependencies that can only be resolved by using pip
to install specific versions of things.  I could probably get it to work
but is it worth the time and effort to do so?

These are the packages that have to be installed via pip just to get this
far...
alembic
setuptools
requests
pyparsing
urlparse3
urllib3
virtualenv
virtualenv-clone
virtualenvwrapper
construct
pep8
autobahn
service-identity
construct==2.5.1
Twisted==14

Oh yeah, one of the packages we install from source (I think it's sipp but
I forget) requires autoconf268 which is available via yum but it's a pain
to get it to be used.
