I have a similar problem. Anything involving Python doesn't work for me. I just can't get Python to install - even though the Wiki says it's working. I get a message "Unable to Install. Software contains updates to packages installed from a different source and is likely to harm the system. Contact software author." Python can't install because a package "libglade 2-0" is missing. This is on a clean flash.

This is really irritating - as mentioned, the Wiki states that Python can be installed, and this was one of the main reasons I went ahead and installed os2008. I'm trying to install from the maemo and maemo extras reps (http://repository.maemo.org and http://repository.maemo.org/extras chinook free non-free). Is this not right?

So - how do I install Python? Take Libglade from bora?
