If you’re using Ubuntu the package manager will fix most of the minor issues such as finding the packages you used to have in 2.6.
But there are some Packages that isn’t compliant with Python2.7.
Mainly Python2.7 is a backwards compatible version from 3.X, or at least Python 2.7 was an upgrade from 2.6 towards the 3.X syntax and all it’s new functions while the translation to 3.X was made.
Here’s some info:
http://docs.python.org/dev/whatsnew/2.7.html
http://www.python.org/getit/releases/2.7/
Mainly Python2.7 should just give you more functions but can cause unexpected problems,
Go ahead and upgrade it on a seperate machine, run your code, if it works, upgrade your real machine to Python2.7.
The problems that might occur are minor, you should be able to fix them within 1h.
