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.

Is there a fix coming to this Suse 9.2 python problem:
And if the automatic update installs a fix, how can it be determined if the system is supposed to be ok?
Or should one install a completely new version of python? Could that somehow harm the system? Should the old version be kept on pc just to be sure -- and how?
It is very difficult for a newbie to try to learn using Linux, Python, UTF-8 etc, if you're never sure whether problems with, say, UNICODE, come from one's own mistakes or if they are due to a system that is belly up to begin with, because of a bug.
