No, but you can do it yourself:
# do not edit this file, edit actualsetup.py instead
import sys
if sys.version_info < (2, 4):
print "Error: Python 2.4 or greater is required to use this package"
sys.exit(1)
import actualsetup
Disclaimer: I haven't actually run or tested this code, but the idea
is to write the checking code that is compatible with very old python
versions and do the actual work in actualsetup.py
