If you only have the .pyc files (and not the .py files), the best solution is to install a version of python 2.5 on your system and run the installer with this version of python. You can have several versions of python on the same system (I currently use 2.5, 2.6 and 3.1).

But automatically along with fedora 13 python 2.6.4 is available. .so its not a problem .. right ..
