Uhm...
1) Python 2.4.x is practically an antique. (I just updated my Windows
machines to 2.7 from 2.5 -- and 2.7 will be the last 2.x version)
2) Python itself is essentially OS agnostic, the Linux/UNIX variations
tend to come in source code form and require building on the target
architecture (since practically no one has build environment on Windows,
except software developers, Windows Python tends to be in pre-built
binaries). You are perfectly free to build a "user" version on the OS
3) RedHat controls what version of Python is the system installed
version -- typically one doesn't want to replace that as it may produce
incompatibilities with system tools. Instead one builds an alternate
Python and puts that version into the user PATH ahead of the system
version.
