In addition there is an outstanding issue with zlib on rhel4, where it seems the libraries fails to build. We'll have to see if that behavior continues in this next build. (zlib did fail again Oct 2, 2008)
As for tcl/tk 8.4, the plan is that we build python against the same version used by the ftools (sometimes referred to as heasoft). We have a copy of heasoft installed at SLAC, currently on a rh9 build..but I'll be doing a rhel4 build soon. That build is located at $GLASTROOT/applications/heasoft/
Versions installed:
numpy 1.2.0
pyfits 1.3
4SuiteXML 1.0.2
We have confirmed with Jim Chiang that it is numpy (rather than numarray) we should be supporting.
Versions installed:
numpy 1.0.3
pyfits 1.1
4SuiteXML 1.0.2
Update
Emmaunel has installed python 2.5.1 at SLAC in the GLAST_EXT rh9_gcc32 area. Documentation is available at https://confluence.slac.stanford.edu/display/SAS/Documentation+for+Installing+External+Libraries

pyfits tested by grabbing a FT2 file from: root://glast-rdr.slac.stanford.edu//glast/Data/Flight/Level1/LPA/prod/1.65/ft2/gll_pt_r0243158679_v001.fit then:
import pyfits
hdulist = pyfits.open('blah.fit')
hdulist.info()
4Suite-Xml tested via:
>>> from Ft.Xml import Domlette
>>> from Ft.Xml.Xslt import Processor
>>> print Processor
<module 'Ft.Xml.Xslt.Processor' from '/afs/slac/g/glast/ground/GLAST_EXT/rh9_gcc32/python/2.5.1-gl1/gcc32/lib/python2.5/Ft/Xml/Xslt/Processor.pyc'>
