of Poky when you do not have Python 2.6.

I only have Python 2.4 or 2.5 but BitBake requires Python 2.6.
Can I still use Poky?

You can use a stand-alone tarball to provide Python 2.6.
You can find pre-built 32 and 64-bit versions of Python 2.6 at the following locations:

</itemizedlist>

These tarballs are self-contained with all required libraries and should work
on most Linux systems.
To use the tarballs extract them into the root
directory and run the appropriate command:
<literallayout class='monospaced'>
$ export PATH=/opt/poky/sysroots/i586-pokysdk-linux/usr/bin/:$PATH
$ export PATH=/opt/poky/sysroots/x86_64-pokysdk-linux/usr/bin/:$PATH
</literallayout>
</para>
<para>
Once you run the command, BitBake uses Python 2.6.
