I've got a friend interested in trying out Python. I sent him to

Any chance Python 2.4.3 compressed source tarball would be suitable for
him?

He already has it. Python is installed by default on most Linux distributions,
including SUSE.

If he wants Python IDEs, libraries, and tools, he should open up YaST,
select "Software Management", select the search filter, and enter python in
the search box.

There's a ton of Python stuff on SUSE, and there's even more in my
YaST-compatible repo at http://repos.opensuse.org/home:/jimfunk/ .
