Hi! Does anyone know if/when python 2.5 or 2.6 will be included in RHEL? python 2.4 is certainly solid, but I'm trying to run fabric and it requires at least 2.5

Nope. But at a guess, RHEL5.x will stick to python-2.4 and RHEL6 will have python-2.6. This is because RHEL is based off of Fedora and we've had python-2.6 in Fedora for a while now. This is just a guess just like speculating when RHEL6 will be out would just be a guess.

In general, you're not going to see that major of an upgrade in RHEL. Every python related package would have to be upgraded at the same time, and that'd go against RHEL's stability goals.
I'd encourage you to lean on the fabric folks to support 2.4 (which is really quite easy for the most part, other than the new try/except/finally that showed up in 2.5).

The thing that bites me the most in Python 2.4 is the datetime module.
Since Python2.4's datetime module doesn't have a strptime method, like:
datetime.strptime('06-09-2009', '%m-%d-%Y')
I end up having to do something like:
datetime(*time.strptime('06-09-2009', '%m-%d-%Y')[:-2])
