How to force iPython to use an older version of Python?

Question

I have to use a very outdated version of python (2.4) at work, so I'd like to tell ipython to use that version instead of the default one on the system. How can I do that?

( I know there is a dupe question, but the accepted answer doesn't work for me, because I only have one ipython on my system, and there are no other packages to install )

Install it using the other Python version's executable.

python2.9 setup.py install

And to get the future, add 0.2 to that version number :P

Thanks! works perfectly! (for 2.4 I had to take version 0.10, because they say the newer ones no longer support python 2.4)
