If you install one thing outside package management, don't expect
other things to work with it.

Thanks Dan. I just changed my scripts to be using the default yum installed
python. Now they find tkinter.

The best way is uninstall 2.4.4.

I wish I could. But some other code probably insists it needs 2.4.4 (

Probably?

rather than the older 2.4.3 that RHEL came with!) Having multiple package
versions seems frowned upon but I keep having to do it all the time.

I wonder what kind of environment you have.
At work our normal mode of operation is if it's a RH 4 system,
then it must run only RH 4 packages.

yum under RHEL often has obsolete versions. I wish there was an easier,
cleaner way to get codes to co-exist peacefully with different
versions.....

Those versions aren't obsolete.
They're the ones tested for that release.
If there's a bug, report it if you have a service contract.
