Python 2.7.11 gives a nice performance bump:

Heroku is easy, we modify runtime.txt, Travis is currently failing, but I've filed:
https://github.com/travis-ci/travis-ci/issues/5313

The Vagrant environment is already using Python 2.7.11 since the third-party PPA we have to use (thanks Ubuntu and your crappy old packages even when there are security issues with older releases) pulls latest (there doesn't seem to be a way to work around that).

If we decide to update stage/prod (=hassle for fubar since it has to be done by hand, node by node) we should file another bug for that. Though given we wish to move to Heroku in Q1 it may not be worth it for stage/prod.
