bugzilla-tool should detect python < 2.5 and show a nice error message

Google has this screwy config where "python" maps to python 2.4 instead of
python 2.5 on the corp image.  Presumably this will go away when we migrate to
snow leopard, but for now everyone who tries bugzilla-tool on a google mac gets
an ugly parse error.

We could fix this via:
1.  Using a different #! line, like: "#!/usr/bin/env python2.5"
2.  Detecting python < 2.5 (or missing ternary operators) and show a nice error
message, including even something about how to fix your Google mac. :)
3.  Some other nifty hack.
