I'm able to run the proton unit tests on Centos 5.9 (python 2.4.3) with the 
following patch:

https://reviews.apache.org/r/9123/

which addresses some syntax changes and the alias of the 'bytes' type.

Centos 5.9 provides the necessary python UUID stuff via the python-uuid package 
(I've got python-uuid-1.30-3.el5 installed).

 Key: PROTON-199
 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PROTON-199
 Project: Qpid Proton
  Issue Type: Improvement
  Components: proton-c
Affects Versions: 0.3
 Environment: python versions  2.5
Reporter: Ken Giusti
Priority: Minor

 Python bindings make use of (at least two) python language features that 
 require python versions newer than 2.5:
 - uuid
 - bytes
 In order to support older versions of the python language, these features 
 would have to be removed, or a compatibility layer would need to be provided.

+1 for 2.4 - that's the oldest version of python that is supported by an 
active linux distro (Centos-5) that I'm aware of.
