Is this going to require Python 3.0?  CentOS is my distribution of choice
and with the upcoming release we're *just* going to get Python 2.6 which
will finally let many of the Myth utilities work.  I hate to drag down the
requirements but with many of the core scripts using Python now, this is
causing a bit of a headache, at least with this distribution.
