Seems like you need to enable the "crypt" module when building Python.
Alternatively you might want to try my 2.0 SRPM from
ftp://ftp.tummy.com/pub/tummy/RPMS/SRPMS -- install it and comment out the
line in "/usr/src/redhad/SPECS/python-2.0.spec" for "binsuffix", then do
"rpm -ba /usr/src/redhad/SPECS/python-2.0.spec" to build the binary RPM.
