[Yt-dev] Move to Python 2.7?

[j s oishi]

+1 python 2.7 (i always just type "python")
+1 bootstrap

While typically I am loathe to create/modify people's systems outside
of the package being installed, I think that an option to do so is a
good idea in this case. I have a number of *ahem* collaborators who
will never read any amount of documentation and then will complain
loudly when things don't work. I think making an *optional* bootstrap
script could really help get people ready to use mercurial, which
would help when someone installs without the intention to develop but
then later creates a patch or fix or something.
