Still works for me:

Dec 28 13:46:34 sword cced(smd)[21777]: client

Please try it again. If it still fails, then please check what
/var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log says.

As for the deprecation warning: Nothing against Python. It's such a cool
and simple language that even monkeys can use it to cobble 4000 lines of
code together that simply print "Hello World" in fancy colours that make
your eyes bleed. Which of course requires the latest version of Python
(preferably a pre-Alpha release from a direct SVN checkout!). Because
they never learned to code shit right and click their components
together in some fancy app with a GUI that has a shiny name such as
"Monkey Python's Code Studio". :p

There is *nothing* at all in the LE client that demands a switch to a
version newer than 2.6. It's just that their code monkeys are a bunch of
lazy hipsters who can't pour water out of their boots even if the
instructions were printed in the heel.

If they no longer want EL6 and EL7 users to use their code? Well, then
we simply switch to a third party client library that does the same
without Monkey Python's cabaret of hilarious code mistakes.
