I know RHEL5 (buildbot) has 2.4 and it is not just a > matter of building Python within jhbuild (breaks badly with x86_64). Ubuntu has has shipped 2.5 as the default Python for 15 months. I think there is another issue to keep in mind. Python 2.4 is desupported. The Python community is not even providing security updates for the 2.4 series. I think RHEL5 needs to provide path to 2.5. -- __C U R T I S C. H O V E Y_______ Guilty of stealing everything I am.
