I have not used Red Hat for a long time.  However, a bit of googling gives:

Using RPM (from the Red Hat manuals)  (command-line tool):
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-8.0-Manual/custom-guide/s1-rpm-using.html

In short, write (as root):

$ rpm -Uvh tkinter-2.2.1-17.i386.rpm

If it complains about 'Failed dependencies', you will need to install some
other packages first.

You can also use a graphical tool.  See:
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-8.0-Manual/custom-guide/ch-graphical-rpm.html

Another alternative is to use 'apt-rpm'.  See:
