We succeeded installing karmic python debs on lucid
(http://davidjb.com/blog/2010/05/installing-python-2-4-on-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx)

python2.4-minimal
python2.4
python2.4-dev

All further deps satisfied via lucid.

Plone 3 successfully started using this python2.4 (PIL installed via pip
in virtualenv).


While e.g. libc in lucid is 2.11.1 and in karmic 2.10.1, all python
dependencies in lucid seem to be backward-compatible to their karmic versions.
Further, this should not change within the lucid release, and therefore
should survive all future updates to lucid.

advantage: it is way faster than compiling python

Any thoughts on this?
