If you are relying on handy "cisco" python module on your Nexus 5500 or 6K switches - stop. Cisco made considerable changes in version 7.0(1)N1(1).
Here what it looked like in 6.0(2)N2(3):
switch# python
Python 2.7.2 (default, Nov 27 2012, 17:50:33)
[GCC 4.3.2] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

According to Cisco representative "Starting 7.0(1)N1(1), python interpreter on N6K has been modified to look like python interpreter on N7K."
WHY DID NOT THEY DO OTHER WAY AROUND: MODIFY PYTHON ON N7K TO MATCH N6K?
