It's possible if they choose to build the necessary binary modules
(DLLs).
On Windows, Python extension modules are linked to the Python interpreter
core DLL, which is version specific (python??.dll, eg python21.dll). As
ESRI were including Python 2.1, I doubt that they went to the trouble of
building multiple versions, especially considering that the MSVC runtime
(as of VC7.0) changes. The standard installers for Python 2.1, 2.2 &
2.3 were all built with VC6, while Python 2.4 is built with VC7.1.
