So you're using rpm as a packet manager.

Unpack the Python rpm to ~/bin or compile Python yourself. And be more specific about what you mean with "switching back/forth". On the other hand - as Gabriel pointed out: there is almost a 100% certainty that the problem you want to solve by having Python 2.4.2 *and* 2.4.3 simultaneously exists only in your head or cannot be solved this way.
