v2.2 is the most recent release of Python and was probably built
using libraries
that didn't come on your distribution CDs. The rpm you're trying to
install requires the listed rpms in order to function.

You can try to search for them at one of the http://rpmfind.net/
mirrors.

If you have a sufficient devel environment and you are up to the
challenge, you can try to build Python yourself, but it may be more
trouble than it's worth if you're new to linux.
