[Python-modules-team] Bug#754248: python-virtualenv: Error when attempting to create a python2.6 virtualenv

[Renat Sabitov]

Dear Maintainer,

I tried to replace {} with % operator and now I'm having following errors:

/usr/bin/python2.6 py26 (see
/home/rsabitov/work/phoenix/ums/tests/system/.tox/py26/log/py26-0.log)

The problem is that virtualenv install wheels from python3 and among them a
recent version of urllib3. It in turn requires
a recent ssl package with CertificateError. python2.6-minimal package has
an old version without required class.
