So I've been running an SPU build bot on RHEL 5, which still has Python 2.4
as system version.  Those patches were from when I noticed build breaks
because of that.

However, a while back I switched my build bot to use a private Python 2.7
instead of the system Python 2.4, so I guess at this point I'm not even
noticing any 2.4 related issues.  As far as I'm concerned, I'd be fine
with removing compatibility with older Python versions ...

Bye,
Ulrich
