Thanks for your feedback. First of all, if you try to run yum install python27-devel, then you should get the message like this:
No package python27-devel available
Then I followed this link,
yum search python | grep -i devel
This will show you that you have python-devel.x86_64 package available if your OS is a 64 bit OS. If I am correct, then the following command should work fine as shown in the accepted answer:
yum install python-devel.x86_64

Instructions to download source and install:
https://www.python.org/download/
NOTE: You should check for the latest version of python 2.7.x, as it gets updated frequently. Currently (Oct 2017), the latest version is 2.7.14 though this comment will get old and new versions likely will be released every 6 months or so.
wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.14/Python-2.7.14.tgz # Download
tar xvfz Python-2.7.14.tgz # unzip
cd Python-2.7.14 # go into directory
./configure
make # build
su # or 'sudo su' if there is no root user
make altinstall
(EDIT: make install -> make altinstall per Ignacio's comment).

I found a solution eventually.
The first 30 odd Google searches tell me to make and alt install python2.7 BUT after further searching, I found THIS which I thought was just instructions on how to enable the handy epel repo but it also includes instructions on how to install the IUS repo.
I didn't think the IUS repo was very handy (never heard of it before and wasn't mentioned in anything I'd read up to that point) but I was running out of ideas so I looked into it and installed it just to see what was available. Turns out, it has python27!
Below is what I did to install the IUS repo and python27:
Make sure you have the epel repo installed/enabled.
# wget https://centos6.iuscommunity.org/ius-release.rpm
# rpm -Uvh ius-release*.rpm
# yum install python27
Make sure it is installing from the @ius repo and not base or update. If not installing from ius, you will need to use —disablerepo='*' —enablerepo='ius' options for the yum install.
After the install, I had python2.7 alongside the system python2.6 and all my dependency issues were resolved.
Hope this helps someone else.

The response given by 'WhiteFile' helped me to resolve my python 2.6 (abi) issue. I was trying to install Cassandra 3.11 which having the dependency on python 2.7.x and I built it using make/make altinstall and changed the ~/bash_profile with alias and path but it did not help. I was still getting the following error
[root@test~]# yum install cassandra
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
The suggestion did not work as given by yum.
I followed the approach referred by 'WhiteFire' user but added one more error as shown below and I resolved it by adding one more command
warning: ius-release.rpm: Header V4 DSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID 9cd4953f: NOKEY
error: Failed dependencies:

I installed epel-release using yum
wget https://centos6.iuscommunity.org/ius-release.rpm
yum install epel-release
rpm -Uvh ius-release*.rpm
yum install python27
I am yet to resolve the output from below command as it still refer python(abi) => 2.6
rpm -q --provides python | grep abi
