From what I remember the previous person who wanted python in Fedora
was also willing to create/maintain a compat-python24 package. But
that's not the only problem.

In some ways this might be doable, at least it has less pain points
than packaging it "properly".

C is the biggest problem, in that "someone" has to dup all the modules

make sure that python-foo doesn't pull in compat-python24-bar (and vice
versa).
