Fedora 9? You mean the release as of  13 May 2008 ?

Well, this is 5 years old by now, and a number of software components
in it are so outdated that they will not work any longer with current
code.  Please use a recent distribution, say something not older than
2 years or so.

Probably the python in your distro is too old...

The similar error is due to the fact that it uses the same code, and
runs into the same issues with your ancient python version.

As far as I can tell the file is still there, at
ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/eldk/5.3/iso/eldk-5.3-powerpc-e500v2.iso

Could that be some local problem on your side?
