sshpt on CentOS 5.5 with Python 2.4 - Queue instance has no attribute 'task_done'

[GoogleCodeExporter]

When running the sshpt.py, I keep getting the error below.

I am running this on CentOS 5.5 which has python 2.4 and paramiko 1.7.6 (see 
rpm listing below).

[machine]# ./sshpt.py -t 1 -f hostlist.txt "date"

Per the Requirements section on the SSHPT front page 
(http://code.google.com/p/sshpt/):
"The SSH Power Tool requires Python 2.5+ (not 3.0+ yet)...".

get newer source scripts of Queue.py (python>2.5) from python.org

and 

editing Queue.py in library directory would work

sshpt seems to be working ok on Centos5.6 with python version 2.4.3 i get a 
warning in the begning which i can ignore for now

RandomPool_DeprecationWarning: This application uses RandomPool, which is 
BROKEN in 
older releases.  See http://www.pycrypto.org/randpool-broken
Enter list of hosts (one entry per line). Ctrl-D to end input.

then i get the following error , looking at the previous comments what are the 
changes are i need to do to Queue.py so that sshpt does not spit errors?
