what i did:-
-get the src rpm from python.org
-rpm -Uvh python*rpm
-cd /usr/src/redhat/SPEC/
-rpm -ba --rmsource python*
-go to /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386
-install all the python binaries available there
-the default will install python as python2, not overwriting python.  i
guess, one need to move /usr/bin/python, and sym link the python2.1 to
python
-to overwrite python1.5, edit python.spec in SPEC.  check the comments
there..

i've done this , and encountered no problems ..yet
(rh 7-1 tho)
