I think there are a number of places in the code that require Python
2.5.  It seems that jhbuild is bootstrapping Python 2.4 by default.  But
your OS has Python 2.5 I think; you might try deleting the jhbuilt
Python, probably:

rm -rf ~/od/install/lib/python2.4 ~/od/install/bin/python*

If you skip the jhbuild bootstrap this shouldn't happen, but we do need
to get jhbuild upgraded to a newer Python.
