Sorry, I meant that to be an example, something that often happens to us 
on newer debian/ubuntu machines where python2.4 is no longer fully 
supported and many packages do not provide 2.4 components anymore. I 
didn't mean to imply you did such a thing, just that this is the only 
thing I am normally concerned about. If you're using the system python, 
great, just be advised that the default python has changed from 2.4 to 
2.5 as far as I know.

I'll tell our sysadmin. I don't think there'd be a problem.
