CentOS seems to have the same distutils misconfiguration as RedHat.

If you pass --install-lib /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages the misconfigured defaults may be overridden.

Alternatively, you can manually move the files out of the lib64 site-packages into the corresponding lib site-packages and delete the twisted directory in the lib64 site-packages.
