There are lots of systems like Solaris 10 that are going to be way back - at 3.3 bash, for example.
So, what do you want to do? I would try ksh88 which is close to Linux pdksh. Most systems have that as a fall back. You can also download older versions of bash if you want.
KornShell -> to download ksh 88.
Earlier bash:
Index of /gnu/bash
I do not know how well early bash versions like 1.14 behave in new environments.

Actually I have installed python 3.2.
It seems there are a lot of synta variance between 2.2 and 3.2.
Is it possible to run a script in 2.2 without actually installing 2.2.

I am naive in python .

RBASH(1) General Commands Manual RBASH(1)
NAME
rbash - restricted bash, see bash(1)
RESTRICTED SHELL
If bash is started with the name rbash, or the -r option is supplied at invocation, the shell becomes restricted. A restricted shell is
used to set up an environment more controlled than the standard shell. It behaves identically to bash with the exception that the follow-
ing are disallowed or not performed:
o changing directories with cd
o setting or unsetting the values of SHELL, PATH, ENV, or BASH_ENV
o specifying command names containing /
o specifying a file name containing a / as an argument to the . builtin command
o specifying a filename containing a slash as an argument to the -p option to the hash builtin command
o importing function definitions from the shell environment at startup
o parsing the value of SHELLOPTS from the shell environment at startup
o redirecting output using the >, >|, <>, >&, &>, and >> redirection operators
o using the exec builtin command to replace the shell with another command
o adding or deleting builtin commands with the -f and -d options to the enable builtin command
o using the enable builtin command to enable disabled shell builtins
o specifying the -p option to the command builtin command
o turning off restricted mode with set +r or set +o restricted.
These restrictions are enforced after any startup files are read.
When a command that is found to be a shell script is executed, rbash turns off any restrictions in the shell spawned to execute the script.
