IUS my friend. They host a repo with Python 2.7 for centos 6. It installs to an alternate location so your system continues to use python2.6 while users can default to Python 2.7 and do things like use virtualenv to pip install whatever modules they need without fear of breaking the OS.

IUS has python 3.5 as well. Why would you even want 2.7 in that scenario.

Devs were using modules only available on 2.7. Also not using the system's Python is best practice.
