As stated in #909, there are some tests that fail under Python 2.6. Until pytest is fixed we should skip these tests when we detect we're running Python 2.6.

The current output is:

./lazyserver.sh [-h] [-c filename.ini] [ARGS_to_paster ...]

   For example:
         ./lazyserver.sh -c fcgi.ini port_number=23371
     or: ./lazyserver.sh --server-name=fcgi --log-file=paste.log

   The configfile defaults to paste_local.ini,
   if that is readable, otherwise paste.ini.

However, port_number seems to be ignored completely:

Markdown 2.5 has just been released and is incompatible with Python 2.6.

Other than just dropping Python 2.6 support (not really an option for 0.7.*), we have two other options:

• Pin Markdown to <2.5 until we drop Py2.6 support
• Install importlib via PyPI for Py2.6 users (via conditional requirements in setup.py)

See the ​release notes for more details.
