It may have been intended as a joke, but it's worth pointing out that
the Xen plugins for nova (at least) have to be compatible with Python
2.4, because they run on the Xenserver, which has an antiquated Python
installed :)

As for the clients, we could probably drop that segment now; it's not
like we *test* against 2.4, right?  :)
