Python 2.4 is almost four years old now, and unmaintained. Chances are the  
bug is already fixed. With 2.6 already released (and 3.0 soon to be) I  
think it's highly improbable any developer will show interest in this - in  
any case, almost noone will notice unless you file a bug at bugs.python.org
