   On our side, we have finally installed a separate python under
/usr/local. The Python libs/extensions are installed with it and we can
manage to change the version of Python (and the releated libs) without
impacting the system's Python.
It can sound dirty, but for a limited amount of software its very flexible
and still manageable.
I have to admit, we use RedHat-EL 4 which contains an even older version of
Python.
