I am not sure of Fedora, 
CentOs 5.x ships with Python 2.5 . 
The version of python depends a lot on everything else that is packed into 
the system and uses python. e.g. GUI based tools, system scripts etc.

There is however never been an issue to locate different version of python 
in your system as you deem fit without problems. 
So I dont understand why your concern.
