• travis tests take more than 50 minutes on Python 2.6

See jirikuncar#240 (comment)

What about disabling the build on python 2.6 for now? It makes Travis less useful if the build appears always as broken.

I'm ok with for some time.
@greut can you prepare patch for travis with FIXME in it? thanks

[greut]

Using a matrix is a way to split up the tests into many builds. Indico does it:

env:
  - TEST_SUITE=unit
  - TEST_SUITE=functional

From https://www.python.org/download/releases/2.6.9/

With the 2.6.9 release, and five years after its first release, the Python 2.6 series is now officially retired. All official maintenance for Python 2.6, including security patches, has ended. For ongoing maintenance releases, please see the Python 2.7 series. The NEWS file lists every change in each alpha, beta, release candidate, and final release of Python 2.6.
