I hope so too--it's a good question.

Possible that installing 2.0 breaks dependencies
itself, whether you uninstall 1.5.2 or not.  The
BeOpen-Python-2.0-1.i386.rpm will put Python 2.0
answering calls for python even as 1.5.2 remains 
on board.  Do an 'rpm -q --whatrequires python'
and everything listed probably expects 1.5.2...
