No, I don't. But maybe you can look at other possibilities. I recently
removed debian python1.4 from my system and compiled and installed python
1.5 in /usr/local.
Another possibility is to try out the python 1.5 rpm-packages that are
already available using alien. I did not try that out myself, but it
might just work.
I include a message from the python user's mailinglist with information
about the RPM-packages:

Subject: ANNOUNCE: Addons to the Linux Python 1.5 RPMS (RedHat 5.0) [Update 2]
Newsgroups: comp.lang.python
Hi,
as I promised last week I have packaged PIL, NumPy and gdmodule as addon
packages to my linux packages of Python 1.5. There are three more RPMS
available, that can be found on
ftp://ftp.rhein-zeitung.de/pub/comp/redhat

Regards.
