yellowTAB includes Python 2.4 as part of their ZETA OS which, as Marc-André 
notes is a further development of BeOS. Francois Revol has done the work to 
keep Python up to date and working with the existing maintainer, Donn Cave, 
on this.

It's a much more solid release than all previous versions with much greater 
support for Python extensions. Even Zope runs with only one slight change 
as flock() is not yet supported.
