RPMS are distro-specific. What distribution are you looking for? Since
python is an integral part of any RedHat or Fedora installation, if you
want a version other than the one the OS ships with, I'd recommend you
compile it and install it in /usr/local or some other pace that won't
conflict with the system version of Python. Trying to replace the
system version of python with a newer rpm is essentially going to break
the entire system. Right now I find that my fedora installation has no
less than 83 packages that depend on the version of python that is
currently installed.
