I've got a friend interested in trying out Python. I sent him to http://www.python.org/download/linux/ but he's uncertain as to what to download. He's rather get a new download than use what was on his Suse disk. His box is an x86.

Any chance Python 2.4.3 compressed source tarball <http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.4.3/Python-2.4.3.tgz> would be suitable for him?

absolutely. unpack, type "./configure", and then "make altinstall", and you're off (use "python2.4" to start the newly installed interpreter).

alternatively, and recommended, is to grab the latest build from SuSE's package repository.
