Yes.  

Unless there are symlinks involved, you appear to have two python2.4
installations.  Those would normally be independent.  I'm not sure which
one is the one to rely on - I just have no practical 64bit experience or
knowledge.

rpm -qf /usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages

rpm -qf /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages

should give some indication of which is the preferred python.

[Labitt, Bruce] ===================================================
# rpm -qf /usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages
python-2.4.3-21.el5.x86_64
kdebindings-3.5.4-1.fc6.x86_64
graphviz-python-2.18-3.sl.x86_64

# rpm -qf /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages
python-2.4.3-21.el5.x86_64

They look to be the same...
===================================================================

perhaps I should be shutting up and letting someone with a clue try to
give you a hand.

[Labitt, Bruce] ===================================================
Where would the fun in that be?

[Labitt, Bruce] I think I know how to do this uninstalling.  Do I need
to manually delete files?  From

alling-a-package

"If you want to delete the currently installed version of a package (or
all versions of a package), you should first run:

	easy_install -m PackageName

"After you've done this, you can safely delete the .egg files or
directories, along with any scripts you wish to remove."
