The source tar-ball contains an file Misc/RPM/python-XXX.spec that you can use
to build an RPM ("rpmbuild -bs" or "rpm -bs"). The resulting package will
normally be called "python2.4", so if your current installation uses plain
"python" (rpm -q python), you can install it without any problems with
backwards compatibility.
