Just discovered a week or two ago a pretty important part of one of our internal systems is running on python 2.6

Caveat about 2.7: HTTPS switches from default-non-validating to default-validating. If your internal system uses SSL, and you have a bunch of self-signed certs, for example.

I think we're prooobably good there, this system is primarily slinging around and transforming data between databases.

The far bigger worry would be unexpected encoding issues corrupting the data when going from 2->3.
