Just because the default python version on a server is 2.4 doesn't
mean you can't install 2.7.2... If the admins that run the machine are
too lazy/stupid to install a second copy of Python let them rot.

Of course, if by some nightmare scenario you have code that can't be
upgraded for whatever reason, I'm so sorry.
