Just to make sure....

Are you sure you're invoking the right Python?  Red Hat comes with 
Python, and if your created a separate installation in /usr/local or
something, then you need to make sure that all of your scripts are 
invoking the 1.5.2 interpreter and not the one that came with 
Red Hat 5.x.

If you want to blow away Red Hat's Python, you can get the 
Python RPMs that Oliver Andrich put together.  They're at
