[gentoo-user] Installing packages for old Python version

Hi,
I am trying to install Plone which depends on Python 2.4. Portage
installs Python 2.4 in a slot in addition to Python 2.5 which my system
uses as a default. Plone also depends on 2 other packages
(Python-Imaging and Python-Elementtree). However, if I emerge these they
end up in /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages.
Is there a way to change the default python version temporarily so that
emerge merges the correct version of these packages into
/usr/lib/python/2.4/site-packages, where I need them?
Thanks for any help in advance.

I'd try app-admin/eselect-python
