it was a no brainer. just make sure that you have Python 2.2.1, and do the right scripting to start it.
Okay, I've spent four or five hours trying to figure out how to get Python 2.2.1 installed with no success at all. Every attempt is met with a long string of unmet dependencies. If I have to upgrade the blasted machine from RedHat 6.2, which works perfectly well in this context, in order to move forware with MailMan I'm going to have to rethink the whole idea.
I did find a RedHat 6.2 RPM for Python, but reports: error: failed dependencies: libcrypto.so.2 is needed by python2-2.2.1-1 libexpat.so.0 is needed by python2-2.2.1-1 libssl.so.2 is needed by python2-2.2.1-1
Are those likely to be in one of the other Python RPMs, like python2-devel or python2-tools? Or will those just expose six hundred more dependencies?

I don't have an answer to your exact question. I can tell you though that I run RH 6.1. I downloaded and installed, with no problems, Python 2.2.1 from the source, rather than from RPMs.

These shared libaries are in other packages but the Python you are trying to install is configured to provide optional modules that use them. The Python RPM you are using was built on a system with these other packages installed and the Python RPM you have is now dependent on them.
If you build Python 2.2.1 from source on your machine it will hopefully detect which optional modules it can include based on what is installed on your machine. Either that or you can adjust the Modules setup file to meet your needs.. Either download the Python source .tgz or you could try using the SRPM that is the companion to the RPM you've been using.
Personally, I always build from the .tgz as I find it simple and reliable.
If you use the SRPM you may have to modify the SPEC file, depending on how that is set up, to avoid the same problem with the RPM you reconstruct from it.
