Read
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/DistTag (pay special attention
to the "conditionals" part) and use it to differentiate among systems
during build time. Just BuildRequire and use python-2.4 where it is
available and python-compat-2.4 in the rest.
Is there a python-compat-2.4 somewhere in fedora and RHEL?
