Upgrading Python on Red Hat 7.2?

I have an ancient server with Red Hat 7.2 and Python 1.5.2. I want to
install mod_python, but I'll need a version of python from some time
after the stone age to do that. Up2date is broken (missing Python
module, go figure), so I can't use that. The latest RPMs seem to be for
Red Hat 9, will they work with 7.2? If not, will building from source
make versioned binaries only (/usr/bin/pythonX.X instead of
/usr/bin/python)?

The default build

> ./configure
> sudo make install


will install to /usr/local/ and thus will not overwrite
/usr/bin/python.
