Askbot will not work with python 2.4, please install latest python as "altinstall".

Make sure to have your updated python not overwrite python 2.4 as CentOS depends on an older version of Python. I think later releases of CentOS have fixed this problem.

One option will be to find a system package of python 2.6 or 2.7 for your version of the system, another option - compile Python from source code and install with make altinstall - in order to not overwrite Python 2.4.

Finally - you might either upgrade your CentOS or get a server with a distribution where at least python 2.6 is natively provided.
