Well you said you have both Python 2.4 and 2.7 installed on the machine.

Were they both installed via Centos package management?

If so Python 2.4 is probably set as the default and if you install the
package for Python it will install for 2.4. You probably need to specify
the python version. Not sure how Centos names its packages, but I am
using openSUSE and the default package(where the default Python is 2.7)
is python-psycopg2 and the Python 3 version(which I also have installed)
is python3-psycopg2
