[users] youtube-dl requiring python >= 2.4

[Ross Marshall]

You can install python 2.4 and not have it break all of the scripts that 
depend on python 2.3. When doing the make, do a make altinstall, and it 
won't create the symlink, or just remake the symlink to the proper 
python, and change youtube-dl to point to the python 2.4 install. It 
would be nice to have the rh specific python scripts hard coded for 
python 2.3, but I don't know how to make packages.
