OpenStack is often used with dustributions of GNU/Linux which use python-2.6 as a default python interpreter. Other OpenStack projects declare compatibility with python-2.6. Ironic is been continuously tested for compatibility with python-2.6 so we must declare this in the classifier to stay synced with other OpenStack services.

Ironic
Ironic is an Incubated OpenStack project which aims to provision bare metal machines instead of virtual machines, forked from the Nova Baremetal driver. It is best thought of as a bare metal hypervisor API and a set of plugins which interact with the bare metal hypervisors. By default, it will use PXE and IPMI in concert to provision and turn on/off machines, but Ironic also supports vendor-specific plugins which may implement additional functionality.
