There's a big difference between “What list of versions of Python does
<fooOS> ship with?” versus “Which one version of Python does <fooOS> use
for its implementation of ‘python’?”. I think the latter is the more
pertinent question.

Do you have evidence to back up a claim (not that I'm saying you have
necessarily made the claim; it's not clear from what you wrote) that
most operating systems use Python 2.4 as their implementation of
‘python’?
