Yes, it's a standard package in FreeBSD 4.10.

First you should remove your old version of python, in order
to avoid any potential pitfalls.  Use the pkg_delete command
for that purpose.

To install the precompiled binary package for FreeBSD 4.10,
perform this command as root:

   pkg_add -r python

If you prefer to fetch the source code and compile it your-
self, type these commands as root (provided that you have
installed the ports collection, which really is strongly
recommended):

   cd /usr/ports/lang/python
   make install
   make clean

For more details on the pkg_add(1) command, please refer to
its manual page.  For more information on the FreeBSD ports
collection, please refer to the appropriate chapter in the
Handbook.

Best regards
   Oliver
