Hi,
I am getting below error after running this command
./letencrypt-auto

[root@cp ~]# cd letsencrypt
[root@cp letsencrypt]# ./letsencrypt-auto
WARNING: Python 2.6 support is very experimental at present…
if you would like to work on improving it, please ensure you have backups
and then run this script again with the --debug flag!

That’s because you are using python v2.6 if possible I’d suggest updating.

What OS and system are you running on ?

Probably a CentOS or derivative, you can use this guide to get 2.7.9 (adjust your commands): https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-python-2-7-6-and-3-3-3-on-centos-6-4
Also setuptools can be setup like this: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools/18.7.1#unix-wget
