The binfmt_misc module has to be loaded, which is presumably is, if
/proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc exists (not 100% sure on that)
It's almost certainly provided by CentOS, even if it's not loaded by
default.

Assuming file.pyc was actually compiled by python2.6, and not some other
version, it should work.
