That is correct for cctbx as a whole, but we do (or at least did) support installation using the bootstrap script on systems with Python 2.4. See e.g.

Subject: Re: [cctbxbb] Python 2.4 compatibility
Hi Richard,
According to Nat on 15th October 2012, CCTBX officially stopped supporting Python 2.4. Here's the text of his message:
FYI for those of you who didn't get my original email: the minimum
Python version required for CCTBX is now 2.5, so for anyone
contributing to CCTBX, you can now use more advanced syntax such as
"with" and "try/except/else/finally" (and decorators, which were
already supported in 2.4, but we haven't used them so far). Full list
of changes in 2.5 here:

This commit uses the "with" statement, which was introduced in Python 2.5, to libtbx/__init__.py, preventing installation of DIALS from sources on systems with Python 2.4:

Could this code be changed to remove the use of the "with" statement?
