I had good luck with these RPMs on RH 6 except  when I tried
installing the Tkinter stuff:

  # rpm -Uvh python-_tkinter-1.5.2-2.i386.rpm 
  error: failed dependencies:
          blt >= 2.4c is needed by python-_tkinter-1.5.2-2
          libBLT.so.2 is needed by python-_tkinter-1.5.2-2

I don't know what blt is!  I did erase RH's tkinter package, but it
didn't help.  Do I need to install Tcl/Tk extensions to make it work
with Python?  :(  

For normal use I don't use Tkinter so it's not affecting me.  All I
wanted to do with Tkinter was to try out IDLE.. :) I'm quite happy
with Oliver's RPMs.. it's much more convenient than asking everyone at
work to compile Python 1.5.2 on their system. :)
