 From what I remember the previous person who wanted python in Fedora
was also willing to create/maintain a compat-python24 package. But
that's not the only problem.

 In some ways this might be doable, at least it has less pain points
than packaging it "properly".

 C is the biggest problem, in that "someone" has to dup all the modules
people need ... which also need to be kept in sync. ... and you need to
make sure that python-foo doesn't pull in compat-python24-bar (and vice
versa).
