I had an older version of Python (1.3 or 1.4 or something). I figured that was the problem, so I updated to 2.0 but am still getting the same error. Trying to install a higher version of Python on my system gives an error about libc.so.6 not being installed, even though it is. I believe this is RH 7.3. It's about 5 years old in any case. I'd like to use Yum to get the system up to date.
