I don't but I strongly suggest that you do NOT replace the base python
packages with a newer version. A lot of core tools (like yum) depend
on python. So replace the base python package with a newer one could
very well break your complete system. As Eric suggests find a way to
install python 2.4 besides the core python in a seperate place so you
don't start mixing them.

Hoping the problem magically goes away by ignoring it is the
"microsoft approach to programming" and should never be allowed.
