GelfTcpHandler/GelfUDPHandler not liked under CentOS-6 about pygelf

[keeprocking]

Python 2.6 was released in 2008 and its official support ended in 2013. Can't you just update to 2.7?
There is a an issue with deriving from 'object'. Base class for all logging handlers is Filterer. In python 2.6 it looks like

class Filterer()

but in python 2.7+ it derives from 'object':

class Filterer(object)

I don't know if everything will be ok in 2.7+ if I add additional deriving from 'object':

Filterer(object) -> Handler(Filterer) -> SocketHandler(Handler) -> GelfTcpHandler(SocketHandler, object)

CentOS-6/Redhat-6 is still "fully supported" by the vendors and a large chunk of the world is still running it. Yes I could manually install python-2.7, but then I might as well ditch using enterprise Linux OSes and move over to Arch or something else (as commercial vendors are always way behind current versions of all software). In my case it's all about installing pygelf on our Linux infrastructure (which I don't own or operate) in order to give those systems tools to push data into graylog - so I'm simply trying to make it work in our existing environment

I certainly understand your reluctance - I'll just include your (patched) package along with my script - so that it works for us on the older platform :-)
