I assume you are using yum for package management. It should have been
installed by default. As root, you can issue the command
yum install python python-docs python-devel python-tools
The package yumex provides a GUI interface to the yum package manager.
You can think of yumex as the Windows "Add/Remove Programs" application
on steroids.
yum install yumex
The yumex install view with a filter of
python
will provide an extensive list of additional python packages.
Finally, I do not know if this includes the best python integration with
EMACS.
