Craaaapp... CentOS5 = Python 2.4.3, and I'm not looking to switch
distros...  Here's my info:

# python
Python 2.4.3 (#1, Jul 27 2009, 17:56:30) 
[GCC 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-44)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import xml
>>> print xml.__version__
0.8.4
>>> import MySQLdb
>>> print MySQLdb.__version__
1.2.1
>>> 

And given that messing with Python on a RH-based box is the software
equivalent to taking a hammer to my laptop, I (and other CentOS5/RHEL5
users) are pretty much up the creek.  Unfortunately, unlike Qt, Python
isn't something to be mess with here.  Too many critical OS pieces
depend on it... (like all of the system-config-* stuff...)

I'll play with it on my current version and report back what happens.
