I'm sorry for sail in, but i think that the reason is that python24 is 
reached it's EOL long time ago. Actually the only supported python 
releases atm according to python.org are - 2.7.2 and 3.2.1, and 
developers highly encourages the users to move to this versions.

2.5 and 2.6 are in security-fix-only mode, there will be no ANY releases 
for this branches after October 2011 and October 2013 respectively, 
while 2.4 does not get security-fixes even.

There is also this answer from Martin in this pr:

python24 goes to the end of month, this port is on the todo for removal
