Yeah, RedHat Enterprise, our beloved museum...

Have you considered preparing the distribution somewhere else, then
installing it? In simplest form:

- setup similar RHEL on some virtual machine
- install all compilation tools there
- build python2.6, install it in /opt or sth like that
- tar your /opt/python2.6, copy to the production, untar

(for even more polished solution consider preparing your own RPMs
instead of archive)

PS I feel that this thread would feel better if entitled:
   AuthKit doesn't work with python 2.4 (patch)
or similarly. Too late to correct it here but worth remembering for the
future.
