This must be some kind of mixup. Bzr doe snore require python 2.5+.
It runs fine on standard python 2.4

    $ python -V
    Python 2.4.2

    $ bzr --version
    Bazaar (bzr) 0.10.0
    Using python interpreter: /usr/local/bin/python
    Using python standard library: /usr/local/lib/python2.4

Neither should 0.12 or forthcoming 0.13 require python 2.5.
It's the other way round: there are changes in bzr to make it 
portable to 2.5.
