yes.

only if you try really hard ;-)

If you end up with multiple copies of the same software, you will have 
no problems.

On Windows, just use the binary installers.
On Linux, install a pristine Python 2.4 from source.
Then use buildout to manage your projects, which will keep the python in 
question pristine and leave you without clashing problems.
