Strange rpm behaviour/python 2.0

Downloaded the python 2.0 rpms from ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/contrib/i386/madefor70/python/. When I try to install them almost all of my ram (160 MB) and all my swap (2*200MB) is used gradually. This happens regardeless if I try to install with YAST1 (bless her!) or with rpm from the command line. I've tried to use both rpm 3.04 and rpm 3.05 but with no success.
