Just wondering if there is a technical reason for this. Otherwise I may try to add support for this.

What kind of error message are you getting? Python 2.6 is a problem, but my Googling says that RHEL 7 ships with Python 2.7.

There is already a CentOS 7 test in the test suite, and a version check in the code, but I guess there is some difference between CentOS 7 and RHEL 7 being exposed here. It's sort of hard for me to test that environment, unfortunately.

Are you using the run_tests.sh script to test? If so, there should be output lines like Testing /some/path/python[X.Y] and Testing virtualenv tests/requirements-test-[something].txt. Can you paste those lines in here?

If you need a quick workaround, you can try to update your setuptools to a more recent version via pip install --upgrade setuptools or similar.
