Thanks for the responses gentalmen and apologies! It seems that Python IS
included in Fedora but is not explicitly seen (as it is in Windows XP) as a
desktop icon. It can be accessed by from the terminal by simply typing
Python.

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.
