Python 2.4 is deprecated. There are plans to mask for removal it when
remaining packages incompatible with Python 2.5 are fixed.
(We will announce masking of Python 2.4 at least 1 month before masking it.)

Please don't add new packages to the tree which work only with Python 2.4.

If you want to add a package which depends on a Python module, which had been
maintained separately in the past, but has been also included in Python 2.5,
then don't add this Python module to the tree only for use with Python 2.4,
but instead depend on Python >=2.5.
