Install python2.6 on centos7.4

Question

I find that it needs python2.6, but the version of yum source is above 2.7. How can I install python2.6 on centos7.4?

I have tried epel source but no help.

Of course, ambari needs python2.6 to build, maybe you can have a look on above url. — daixiang0, Dec 27 '17 at 08:58
Maybe this url can explain this:https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/AMBARI/Ambari+Development — daixiang0, Dec 27 '17 at 09:02
I read that. Apparently you got stuck on the line that says "Python 2.6". — Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams, Dec 27 '17 at 09:03
It does not say any version above python2.6 which i think it needs pyhton2.6 — daixiang0, Dec 27 '17 at 09:11
Except for all the other parts that talk about 2.7, of course. — Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams, Dec 27 '17 at 09:11

python-wheel==2.6 can not be found in yum source. – daixiang0 Dec 27 '17 at 09:00

It is a bad question since i just want to build ambari-2.6.1.

On my side, i make a soft link '/usr/bin/python2.6' to '/usr/bin/python2.7', then everything works.

But after try to use, it failed. It seems that soft link can not work as expected.
