I don't think hardcoding the python version is a good idea.  It may even 
not work at all, seeing that you use #!/usr/bin/env python, which may 
not point to 2.4.  You can get the right python version like so:

python -c 'import sys; print sys.version[:3]'

Well, there is still a bunch of garbage in the diff and a couple of 
other issues like script-with-language-extension and 
binary-without-manpage.  Looking at all these problems together, I 
don't feel inclined to upload the ggz-python package in this state.  
Either you want to get involved in major fixing, or we wait for 0.0.14.
