python2.1 and RedHat7.1

[Michael Ackerman]

The version asked for is the same as is in my directory.  And doing rpm
-qf reveals that both files came from the rpm for openssl-0.0.6-3. So I
don't understand what's wrong.  However, installing python with
"--nodeps" seems to be okay.  Thanks for your help.
