I assume you are using yum for package management.  It should have been
installed by default.  As root, you can issue the command
	yum install python python-docs python-devel python-tools

The package yumex provides a GUI interface to the yum package manager.
You can think of yumex as the Windows "Add/Remove Programs" application
on steroids.
	yum install yumex

The yumex install view with a filter of 
	python 
will provide an extensive list of additional python packages.

Finally, I do not know if this includes the best python integration with
EMACS.
