Still true a year later.  You can have a obfs3 written in Python, or you 
can have a working RHEL6/CentOS6 system, but not both.

The obfs3 developers, of course, have every right to support the 
platforms of their choosing, and they owe nothing to RHEL/CentOS users.

That said, making it painful to use your software on a given platform 
will dissuade users of that platform from running your software.  Who 
knows, maybe the upcoming RHEL7 will make a perfect platform for the 
Python-based obfsproxy.  Today, though, not so much.
