Right, which is why I said that this wasn't a good idea.

Currently I'm requiring '/usr/bin/python2.3', not a package called
python.

Thus, you can install a python2.3 package from python.org to satisfy
the dependency, and not conflict with your other packages.  If your
python package happens to be v2.3 as in bleeding edge versions of
Redhat, you are fine as well.

The only question is how to handle things once Python 2.4 becomes
available.

What do you think about my idea of passing in an environment variable
to override the /usr/bin/python2.3 requirement?  Have you seen this
kind of thing done before?
