This is because Babel (the Python Internationalization Library) no longer supports Python 2.6, because Python 2.6 has been EOL and unsupported by the core Python team for over five years (since 2013-10-29).

You could try installing an old version of Babel (eg. pip install "babel<2.6.0") but you're better off upgrading to Python 2.7 (EOL 2020-01-01), or better, Python 3.
