You could get the module from some older Python version 
(http://svn.python.org/projects/python/branches/release23-maint/Modules/rotormodule.c) 
and compile it for Python 2.4. You need a C compiler and a minimal 
setup.py file for compiling the module:

from distutils.core import setup
from distutils.extension import Extension

setup (
     name = "rotor",
     ext_modules = [Extension( name="rotor",
                               sources=["rotormodule.c"]
                               )]
     )

HTH,
