I have lots of computers (Linux) with python 1.5.2
installed.
I cannot upgrade python or OS because this may
conflict with 
other uses of pyhton on these computers.

aap installation fails (aap 1.0.57). 
  Compiling /usr/local/lib/aap/Exec-1.057/aapre.py ...
    File "/usr/local/lib/aap/Exec-1.057/aapre.py",
line 513
      self.code = pcre_compile(*statetuple)           
               ^
  SyntaxError: invalid syntax

aap download/install page has no mention of python
version required.

Is it possible that aap be fixed to work around python
differences and to install/work with pythoin 1.5.2 ?
