Shun 3.2.2, it's way too old. The ONLY version of Python worth using
is the bleeding-edge from source control! Otherwise you ARE on the
Historical Commission.

Seriously... to the OP, ignore Rick's doom-and-gloom about old
Pythons. If you have a book that teaches 2.4, you can almost certainly
use what it teaches with a more recent 2.X interpreter (eg 2.7.2). You
may have problems trying to use that book with a 3.X interpreter,
though.
