Silva 1.5.x depends on Zope 2.8.6 (2.8.7 should also work), which in 
turn depends on Python 2.3.4 or 2.3.5. So to answer your questions: no 
and yes.

 From zope.org about the 2.8 branch:

"""
  At this time the only supported and recommended Python versions are 
2.3.4 and 2.3.5.

Using Python 2.4.X is not supported and not recommended at this time. 
Python 2.4.X will be supported when a security audit took place. This 
means that you are using Python 2.4 + Zope 2.8 at your own risk. This 
warning also applies to binary packages that install Zope packages 
together with a system wide Python 2.4 installation (e.g. Fedora, 
SuSE...). Such installations are in general not supported. In addition 
there some third-party products and Python packages that don't work with 
Python 2.4 and can cause trouble when using Python 2.4.
