Red Hat Linux release 7.0 (Guinness)
Kernel 2.2.19 on an i686
                     
[root@xxxxxx /root]# rpm --erase python-1.5.2-27
error: removing these packages would break dependencies:
       python is needed by modemtool-1.21-6
       python is needed by pygtk-0.6.2-2
       python = 1.5.2 is needed by tkinter-1.5.2-7

I guess most of them might work okay with version 2, but the
installer and Redhat sounded less that keen.
