Yo could maybe try this: ftp://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/raid/3/redhat/linux/rawhide/SRPMS/SRPMS/pytho n-2.2-7.src.rpm If you can't build that, then use the tarball it contains to build it yourself and install into (probably) /usr/local but maybe somewhere more private, perhaps create an account (python2) for the purpose.
