Which libraries do you mean? Is it possible that they are included in some other RPM from your
distribution you have not installed? Sometimes they split up the standard library into
a couple of RPMs ( for example Tkinter is usually a seperate RPM). Maybe you should just try
to search your distro's CDs for RPMs containing something with "python".
