    * python 2.4 is old, Crossfire runs with 2.5 and 2.6; I would use 2.6 if possible, has not been tried with 3.1
    * lib64python2.4-2.4.3 is known to work on Mandriva 2007.0 x86_64
    * python2.6-dev is known to work with Ubuntu Lucid (10.04.4)
    * python2.7-dev is known to work in Ubuntu Precise (12.04) and Trusty (14.04)
+ 
+ As an example, this is what you would use to install python on Ubuntu Trusty Tahr:
+ 
+   sudo apt-get install python2.7-dev
  
  To confirm python is fully installed 
  
     $ python
