Hello,
Following this last failing build on Python 2.6 (https://travis-ci.org/ovh/python-ovh/jobs/452406500) regarding SNI requirements on ca.api.soyoustart.com and ca.api.kimsufi.com, I recommand that we drop Python 2.6 support on python-ovh.

Python 2.6 is no longer supported by the Python core team, and pip will also drop support for Python 2.6 too, I think we should consider to move on.

Any objection ?

I approve this change. Python 2.6 will die also if EU APIs are migrated on infra that handle SNI...

You could also drop 3.2 and 3.3, which are also EOL and no longer receiving security updates (or any updates) from the core Python team.
