OK, I found it on my RH7.3 system in the python1.5 install.  But
unfortunately, not under python2.2.  Probably the biggest flaw of RH7.3 in my
book is this split python distribution.  There's no rpm specifically for
RH7.3 & python2.2 either, so instead of installing from source I'm trying
the default python1.5.

There's a problem with the configuration under bindings/python.  It locates
/usr/bin/python which is 1.5 but otherwise gets the 2.2 libraries which
of course won't work.  From bindings/python/Makefile:

PYTHON = /usr/bin/python
PYTHON_CFG_DIR = /usr/lib/python2.2/config
PYTHON_DIR = /home/mjl/tools/lib/python2.2/site-packages
PYTHON_EXEC_PREFIX = ${exec_prefix}
PYTHON_INC_DIR = /usr/include/python2.2
PYTHON_INSTDIR = lib/python2.2/site-packages
PYTHON_MACH_DIR = /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages
PYTHON_MOD_DIR = /usr/lib/python2.2
PYTHON_NUM_DIR = /usr/include/python2.2/Numeric
PYTHON_PLATFORM = linux-i386
PYTHON_PREFIX = ${prefix}
PYTHON_VERSION = 1.5

Ugh.  I'll look into it a little more but am about out of time to spend on
this problem.
