dual python / bootstrap RPM woes

Greetings.

In an effort to get python2.4 on my Centos 3.7, I installed the python 
bootstrap rpm.  This installed 2.4 alongside 2.2 and updated yum to 2.4.0.

Oddly, it didn't create a symlink 'python' for either 2.2 or 2.4.  I also 
get a series of troubling dependency errors when I run yum update. Below is 
the output of the bootstrap install, which includes both a failure early on 
(possibly related to alternatives and/or the symlink?) and the yum update 
dependency errors towards the end. Beyond this, everything appears to be 
running (including fail2ban, which was my original driving force behind 
getting 2.4 installed).

Any thoughts are greatly appreciated. Thanks.
