What you probably want to do is install python2.4 alongside python2.3.3 
as an alternate installation, since a lot of other programs in SuSE 
probably depend on having python2.3.3 and won't work with the upgrade.

Have a look at the RPMs on the python 2.4 downloads page and see if you 
can install them OK (I just did this fine for python 2.3 on whitebox linux).
