I'm using a CentOS machine and the official RPM packages only contain
Python 2.4.
(a) Is it possible to use Orbited with Python 2.4? (I think the answer
here is "No.")
(b) If (a) is not possible, does anyone have any links or suggestions
on how I can install Python 2.5 (and running Orbited with it) without
impacting any current Python apps that rely on 2.4?
I think you can get a copy of urlparse.py from python2.5 and drop it into your python 2.4 site-packages directory. I haven't tested this before, but it'll probably work. I don't think we depend on any other functionality than the updated urlparse.py file for 2.5.

As a side note, since this is the only reason orbited fails to start under Python 2.4, I think the urlparse sections of orbited should be made backwards compatible with 2.4 (eg. maybe check to see if urlparse supports using such things like .hostname, and if not then revert back to using a numeric index). There was a ticket made for this request but it was marked as "wontfix" (not good in my opinion).
CentOS is the flavour of choice when building a server for many Linux administrators, and having to "hack" around official packages to get orbited working is not a good thing (even if this is quite a simple fix).
Having said that, I am super-impressed with orbited. Building real-time web apps is now almost only limited by your imagination. Kudos to the orbited team.

I think we should probably just ship the newer urlparse.py with Orbited, and do a run time check on our python version to decide which to use. Can you leave some feedback on the ticket (and open it again if you can)?
