Some more testing shows
# python -V
Python 2.4.3
as well. He had me download the 2.5.1 source for Python and compile it.
Of course that broke the previously installed rpms, like yum!
I am going to either have to find 2.5 that I can install on Centos (from
a Fedora box), but that will most likely break even more things. Or get
him to build a Centos box and do the build there...
