It's broken? If someone files a bug explaining what's broken about it, the chances of it working again will rise significantly.
For what it's worth asn and myself have been looking into making sure that it will run with the distribution packaged python (and assorted libraries) shipped with Debian oldstable which is probably similarly ancient (See Bug #11558).
Even better, if/when it is back to being written in C, instead of version-specfic Python. That will increase obfsproxy use more than any heartfelt request.
That's unlikely to happen. The closest thing that exists to a native implementation of the more recent pluggable transports is obfsclient, but it's client only and uses "version-specific C++" that the standard CentOS compiler will choke on.
From my perspective it would be easier to fix obfsproxy to better tolerate dependencies being prehistoric, but again, without a detailed bug report to work off of, that won't happen unless by happy accident.
