I didn't quite follow along but I think this applies: I'm running an
older version of pyferret (6.8.2) on our redhat cluster with a custom
python-2.7.5 installation.  I did have to manually build and install
some prerequisites (pyqt-related), but otherwise I managed to get
pyferret working with 2.7 by just renaming the lib/python-2.6
directory to lib/python-2.7.

I think there were a couple of other minor things to fix, but I don't
recall exactly unfortunately.

Kind regards,
     Hein
