Programmingkid 18be78da5c INSTALL: update Python version requirement to 2.7
The virt-clone file uses the argparse module. This module is only found in version 2.7 of Python or higher. So update the documentation to indicate Python 2.7 or higher is required.

Basic Install
=============
For starters, if you just want to run virt-manager/virt-install to test out
changes, it can be done from the source directory:
./virt-manager
To install the software into /usr/local (usually), you can do:
python setup.py install
To build an RPM, you can run:
python setup.py rpm
setup.py generally has all the build and install commands, for more info see:
python setup.py --help-commands
python setup.py install --help
http://docs.python.org/inst/standard-install.html
Pre-requisite software
======================
virt-manager was ported to GTK3 at the beginning of 2013. Older GTK3
or pygobject3 versions likely will not work for running virt-manager.
Earliest tested versions of major components:
python >= 2.7
gtk3 >= 3.6
libvirt-python >= 0.4.0
pygobject3 >= 3.4
libosinfo >= 0.2.10
A more detailed dependency list can be found in virt-manager.spec.in.
On Debian or Ubuntu based distributions, you need to install the
gobject-introspection bindings for some depedencies like libvirt-glib
and libosinfo. Look for package names that start with 'gir', for example
gir1.2-libosinfo-1.0
