Any modern Linux distro will do.  I typically just build the older (and 
newer) Python distributions from source, like this:

~$ mkdir -p ~/python2.1/src
~$ cd ~/python2.1/src
~/python2.1/src$ tar xzf ~/Downloads/Python-2.1.3.tgz
~/python2.1/src$ mkdir build
~/python2.1/src/build$ cd build
~/python2.1/src/build$ ../Python-2.1.3/configure --prefix=$HOME/python2.1
~/python2.1/src/build$ make -j4
~/python2.1/src/build$ make install

Then, in the pycrypto source tree, I do something like this:

~/pycrypto-2.x$ ~/python2.1/bin/python setup.py build test
