I don't have the disks in front of me now, but I think the freeware
disks included with Irix have Python on them. Otherwise, you could
download it from
http://freeware.sgi.com/Installable/python-2.1.1-sgipl1.html

If you want 2.4, the sysadmin could rebuild Python after installing the
Tcl/Tk libraries (which you will need to use Tkinter anyway.) As long
as libtcl and libtk are in /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib, Tkinter will be
built automatically when Python is built.
