My work's website being unsupported with Django security patches. I bring this up with management and say we should upgrade ASAP. Apparently that wasn't possible because the sysadmins refused to upgrade their old version of RedHat so we can't use anything that doesn't support Python 2.6.... To this day it still runs on Django 1.6.

    Never run with the system libraries on an enterprise server if you want decently new software... Virtualenv or build your own Python release. RHEL 6 which I assume were the release will never bump Python to 2.7 since they don't want to risk any API breaks.
