If it's a big deal, download and compile the latest sources (2.4something) and install them in your home directory. Try the --prefix=$HOME/python24 as a configure flag.

Alternately, you could acquire the source RPM, edit the build flags and rebuild. I find that SuSE's dependencies are way, way overdone but you may have better luck.

Or just use YAST to delete python as it is now (broken) and then reinstall from the distro.
