Later than 2.4? Or versions prior?

*Core svn* doesn't need Python. If you want to build Python bindings,
then yah... you're gonna need Python. As far as the *version* of
Python... different question. And it looks like the general answer is
"you need Python 2.4 or later."

Eh? I see that symbol in my Python 2.5.

No... you shouldn't be running autogen.sh.

Did you get your greater/lesser symbol mixed up, above? It is
*expected* that we're now generally requiring Python 2.4 or later. I
hadn't thought about the bindings, but it appears they need 2.4 or
later, too.
