Hi

To be honest, I had never seen this messages before. I'm not familiar 
with CentOS 4, but seems that something is wrong.

About the python version. I would say that depends on how did you 
installed it. If you installed python from sources, then I think you 
have to build paramiko also. But I'm not sure.
