[Xen-devel] [PATCH] tools: fix python version checking issue

["Ren, Yongjie" <yongjie.ren@xxxxxxxxx>]

Even if python version is 2.4.3 which is newer than the required version 2.3, 
the configure script still raises a version issue.
I tested my patch with python 2.6.6 and 2.4.3. It will fix a syntax error like 
the following.
checking for python version >= 2.3 ... Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in ?
TypeError: 'str' object is not callable
no
configure: error: Python 2.4.3 is too old, minimum required version is 2.3
