I think all you need to do is rpm -Uhv python-1.52*
and rpm  -Uhv tkinter-1.52*

If you are using the Macmillian version of Mandrake 6.1, you may have a
problem as the included version of tkinter was 1.51 rather than 1.52, so
you will need to download tkinter-1.52 from somewhere. I would suggest
http://rufus.w3.org as they seem to have the correct mdk versions of python
and tkinter. (at least that is what I did)
