ref How to get python 2.4 or 2.5 for Ubuntu 10.4:

  • Browse to https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/python2.4.

  • Click on Show Builds.

  • Change the state to Successfully built and click on Filter.

  • Choose a build matching the architecture of your workstation.

  • Download the required files. I downloaded:

python2.4_2.4.6-1ubuntu3_i386.deb
python2.4-dev_2.4.6-1ubuntu3_i386.deb

  • Install…

…or, this is easier if you don’t want the development libraries:

Install python 2.4 and 2.5 by adding ppa:fkrull/deadsnakes to your system’s Software Sources: https://launchpad.net/~fkrull/+archive/deadsnakes
