Comment 10 for bug 365874

An alternative method of hacking around this problem is to install virtualenv http://pypi.python.org/pypi/virtualenv

Create virtual environment:
virtualenv -p python2.4 /usr/share/virtual_python2.4

Edit the bazaar executable:

nano -w $(which bzr)

and replace #!/usr/bin/python with #!/usr/share/virtual_python2.4/bin/python

Also run export PYTHONPATH=/usr/share/pyshared to give the path to bzrlib

This keeps the current version of python while running bzr with python 2.4
