I'm preparing a rpm for Centos 5 (so we can keep more build questions
away from the ML :) ) and I'm quite near a good result.
In fact, within EPEL repo I found boost 1.41 and postgres 8.4 so I
could complete a build against those instead of compiling from
sources.

However, I had three failing tests: two of them (70 and 71) pass if I
patch (see attachment) the python version check in TestRunner.py with
a try/except (I'm not sure why it excludes python 2.4, that version
actually was the first one to include the subprocess module it needs
to import).

The last failing one is 76, and this happens because PIL had no "BGRA"
raw mode back then, so this need some patching as well.

So I tried to build against python26 (which includes a newer PIL, also
available in EPEL) but failed for a different reason (see
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=843088) so, before
continuing on either paths, I'd like to know your opinion on the
topic.

In particular, is there any strong preference to either python 2.4 or
2.6? I usually try to stick to what the base distribution provides,
but clearly there are python26+ only modules out there or they would
need to add that package in the repos.
