So... I d/led, compiled and installed my own Python (1.5.1 and overwriting the RH one). For those of you out there who want to do this but aren't down on compiling things, I used this sequence: You can also download the .src.rpm, to keep the rpm database clean. rpm -i python-1.5.1-*.src.rpm
Afterwards, you get probably in /usr/src/redhat/SPECS (If you've changed the location, than you do not need somebody to tell you how to patch a spec file.) a python*.spec file. In this file, search for the configure line, and add --with-threads. Then do a rpm -ba /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/python*.spec Afterwards, you'll find the new threaded rpms in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/<arch>, and can install them with rpm -U --force (as the do have the same release number as the RH orginals).

./configure --prefix=/usr --with-threads make make install (<- probably have to be root)
