I have got this working by symlinking the f5 lbaas files in/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages from /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages. Commands run: 

ln -s /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/f5_bigip_lbaas_agent-1.0.4.icehouse_1-py2.7.egg-info /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/f5_bigip_lbaas_agent-1.0.4.icehouse_1-py2.7.egg-info
ln -s /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/f5_lbaas_driver-1.0.4.icehouse_1-py2.7.egg-info /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/f5_lbaas_driver-1.0.4.icehouse_1-py2.7.egg-info
ln -s /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/f5 /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/f5
ln -s /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/neutron/services/loadbalancer/drivers/f5 /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/neutron/services/loadbalancer/drivers/f5

I also had to comment out the loadbalancer service plugin for haproxy in 

/usr/share/neutron/neutron-dist.conf
due to this Red Hat bug

The service then starts and is running fine.
