Hi.
Short report: I am trying to install LTS 36 into virtualenv on RHEL6:
(avocado) [root at localhost ~]# pip install 'avocado-framework==36.0'
DEPRECATION: Python 2.6 is no longer supported by the Python core team,
please upgrade your Python. A future version of pip will drop support for
Python 2.6
Collecting avocado-framework==36.0

SNIMissingWarning: An HTTPS request has been made, but the SNI (Subject
Name Indication) extension to TLS is not available on this platform. This
may cause the server to present an incorrect TLS certificate, which can
cause validation failures. You can upgrade to a newer version of Python to
solve this. For more information, see
https://urllib3.readthedocs.io/en/latest/security.html#snimissingwarning.

prevents urllib3 from configuring SSL appropriately and may cause certain
SSL connections to fail. You can upgrade to a newer version of Python to
