I built back-port packages of 2.4.1 some time ago, but never really used
them, so I can only assume they work fine.  The changes between my spec
file and the stock spec file were minimal, though.  If you ever upgrade
to a later version of CentOS with a stock 2.4, you'll want to remember
to remove these, because the /usr/lib/python2.4 will conflict.

You can get the binary RPMs and spec file here:

Or use the repo directly in Yum:
