What is the best way to upgrade python?

[Sick Monkey]

Have you tried to upgrade the current python RPM?

rpm -Uvh ....

You can also build from source.  Once you get Python 2.4 up and running I am
pretty sure you can do a symbolic link on the python 2.3 application (either
in /usr/bin or /usr/sbin) and point it to the 2.4 python file.
