if the install is 64 bit, you will hit trouble
i used the guide here http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/356
on my 64 bit debian system to get 32bit apps available
if they have a particular distro install, usually the package
management tools for it can add most python modules you will need

hope that helps, add more details if you want more help
