The major Red Hat based Linux distros are still shipping with Python 2.4.
As a result, almost all hosting providers are running obsolete versions of
Python.

The big problem seems to be that "cPanel" and "yum" still use older versions
of Python, and those programs are more important to distro builders than Python
itself.

Is anybody trying to do something about this?

Fedora 12 ships with Python 2.6, I think.

I've got Fedora 10 here with 2.5, and 11 at the office with 2.6.

Fedora has been shipping with Python 2.6 since F11 release in June of
2009, and Python > 2.4 since F7 released in May 2007.

I think the OP is referring to RHEL (Enterprise Linux).

And Fedora 13 that has 2.6 and 3.1.

And whatever slows down the upgrade treadmill is good IMO. People
should not have to install the latest python just to use your app.
