yum installs Tkinter in a way visible to only one python installation

[Rahul]

My RHEL yum package-manager comes with  Python-2.4.3. We also have a 
seperate Python-2.4.4 Installation on our box.

When I added Tkinter using 'yum install tkinter' it seems to have added it 
in a manner that it is exclusively visible to Python-2.4.3. I cannot import 
Tkinter from Python-2.4.4. 

What's the best way to work around this?
