Ugh, this definitely appears to affect RHEL5 (and by extension CentOS5)
because RHEL5 uses Python 2.4.  In my case I can fairly easily switch to
hmac-sha224 but that may or may not be possible for others.  Is there a way
to fix this from dnspython or do we need to file a bug with RedHat to get
their version of Python patched?
