Attempting installation on system with python 2.4

I've successfully run the remote-help-assistant on the local machine. I'm trying to get it running on a system with python 2.4 so I can test it. I've been unsuccessful.

Here's what I tried.

1) apt-get install python2.5
2) python2.5 /usr/bin/remote-help-assistant

After issuing 2) the first time I get:

pendalf:/home/mparis# python2.5 /usr/bin/remote-help-assistant

The key fingerprint is:

And it exits. Issuing the same for the second (and all subsequent) yields an exit with no apparent action. That's as far as I get.

Here is the bug report file:
