I'm not sure what you mean by "should just work".  Source
compatibility between 1.5.2 and 2.0 is very high.  The 2.0 NEWS
file should list all the changes (single argument append and
socket addresses are the big ones).  The two versions are _not_
binary compatible.  Python bytecode and extension modules have to
be recompiled.  I don't know if this is a problem for the Red Hat
7.1 release.
