Merge remote-tracking branch 'stefanha/tracing' into staging

* stefanha/tracing:
  configure: check for supported Python 2.x versions
  tracetool: avoid pkgutil.iter_modules() Python 2.7 function
  tracetool: avoid str.rpartition() Python 2.5 function
  tracetool: use Python 2.4-compatible __import__() arguments
  tracetool: use Python 2.4-compatible exception handling syntax
