I don't but I strongly suggest that you do NOT replace the base python packages with a newer version. A lot of core tools (like yum) depend on python. So replace the base python package with a newer one could very well break your complete system. As Eric suggests find a way to install python 2.4 besides the core python in a seperate place so you don't start mixing them.
