You could try the precompiled Python distribution from ActiveState (AS
package (libcpp5*)):
http://activestate.com/Products/Download/Download.plex?id=ActivePython

Install it under /opt or somewhere else, where it doesn't conflict
with your existing python installation.

The drawback is, that you may install other 3rd party python packages
on your own.
