A colleague supplied me with a set of rpms he built on his Fedora box
and when I tried to install them with yum localinstall I got a missing
dependency:

Centos 5.2 provides python 2.5.1. My colleague's system where he made
these rpms also has 2.5.1. How do I determine what rpm I need to
install to get this dependency?

You should look at where your friend got this Python from.
Some more testing shows
# python -V
Python 2.4.3
as well. He had me download the 2.5.1 source for Python and compile it.
Of course that broke the previously installed rpms, like yum!
I am going to either have to find 2.5 that I can install on Centos (from
a Fedora box), but that will most likely break even more things. Or get
him to build a Centos box and do the build there...

Yes, for sure! Replacing the system's python is a pretty bad idea
these days, as many of RedHat's tools depend on it.

Yes it will. Restore the one from CentOS by reinstalling the CentOS
RPM with --force.

You can do that on your own box (after you fix it). Just get the
source rpm (.src.rpm) file, install the "rpm-build" package, and then
use the "rpmbuild" command to build the package.
Basically the steps to configure rpmbuild to work on your machine are:
By the way, do we already have something on CentOS Wiki to help people
build their own RPMs? I think this would be helpful, since it's not
that easy to find that information from the man pages and
documentation.
HTH,

Not as a separate page but as part of the Kernel Source Wiki article:
Yes, it is probably a good idea to provide its own wiki page because
rebuilding from srpm is frequently asked in other places as well (like
IRC and forums).
