It would be safer to modify your scripts to make the shebang line read

#!/usr/bin/env python2

to avoid possible breakage in the Red Hat anaconda adminstration suite. You
will need to create a symbolic link (/usr/bin/python2 --> python2.2) before
the shebang line will work correctly. Or you could just use

#!/usr/bin/env python2.2

but that might be a bit version-specific...
