yes.. simply compile/install a local python 2.6 or later, not 3.. download the tar.gz, read the INSTALL. it boils down to
configure --prefix=/usr/local/python-2.x
make install
when it complains about missing dependencies try to find out which package of your distro provides them and install, rerun

alternatively run verify after each backup or at least periodically.
