It does, I did It Yesterday on my linux box at home

rpm -i    a file from a  SRPMS ( the S means sources) dir of the cdrom 2 of redhat 5.2 
only creates some tar.gz files in a specific dir

/usr/src/redhat/SOURCES 

and therefrom  you can start compiling your python versions
I do 

#tar zxvf 

and the classic 

./configure
make 
make  install

in the python dir

I think it is the easiest way for people that have the cdroms

we get then the Makefile in 

/usr/local/lib/python1.5/config/
