Don't - it will break your system and make it unmaintainable. You're better off installing python 2.3.5 in a different directory (under /usr/local, for example) and then adjusting your path so that the newer version is used by default. If you've installed python 2.3.5 over the top of your system's default 2.3.4 installation, then you'd be best to go and download the 2.3.4 rpm again and reinstall it (rpm --force --nodeps -U python-2.3.4...).
