You will have to re-install the modules for Python 2.4. The two 
installations are independent - they each have their own set of 
installed modules. If the module includes binary files, make sure you 
get a version of the module compiled for Python 2.4. If the module 
contains only Python files then the same release will work for both 
Python versions.
