     The "enterprise ready" versions are much further behind.

	http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=centos
		CentOS 5.5 (May 2010) - Python: 2.4.3

	http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=redhat
		RHEL 5.5 (March 2010) - Python 2.4.3
		RHEL 6-Beta - Python 2.6.2

However, if 2.6.2 is going into RHEL, the others will follow, and
that's probably the production Python on servers for the next few years.
