$ find / -name "python*" -print

will show where all the files whose name begins with python are on
your system.  I don't know where the rpms should/would have put the
binary executable.

It is possible that the binary is called python2 or python21.

There is an option to rpm (-l maybe) to list the files that a package
contains.  You could try

$ rpm -l python.rpm | less

and look to see what files it puts where.
