The python-2.4.3-8.FC4.i386.rpm would have no effect at all. "rpm -e" 
takes a package name as an argument, not a filename. You already gave 
the package name straight after the "--nodeps"

The --force shouldn't be needed here, since there shouldn't be any 
conflicts. Try to avoid using --nodeps and --force unless really needed.

If you run /usr/bin/python, does it claim to be python 2.4.1 or python 
2.4.3?
