Yes, they need to be brought back if pkgdep is ever analyzing any python files running a second version of supported python.
- given that we're deleting a bunch of code that we might just need to
   resurrect soon, would it be possible to update these tests to run with
   the 2.6 interpreter and just leave them in place so when the next
   version comes along we just update them again?  (instead of undeleting
   them.)
Not really imo, the 2.4 part of the test uses a different module importer than the rest of the code.

I will say though, that I'm not sure that all of the python_combinations changes should actually be going now that I think about it. There's nothing that prevents a user from having a confusing or misleading python version for example. Tim, we should perhaps chat offline on what should be done w/ this test, I don't want to lose the coverage it provides and I think it can be done w/out needing to actually analyze 2.4 python files in most cases.
