Hey, okay these are my problems backwards and forwards.

1. I've been told that Python RPMs do not exist for SuSE Linux. Is
this true?

2. I've downloaded the RED HAT bit torrent RPM:

bittorrent-3.3-3mdk.noarch.rpm

When I ran KPackage to open it, it told me I am missing two
dependencies:

python-base >=2.3
python-base

WHERE CAN I GET THESE DEPENDENCIES FOR SUSE 8.0 PERSONAL!? When I
tried getting them from places on google, KPackage told me each time
that the dependencies I downloaded NEEDED DEPENDENCIES TO RUN! IT'S AN
ENDLESS CYCLE! SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHERE TO FIND DEPENDENCIES FOR
SUSE 8.0 (if they exist). I'm desperate.

First you download the foo.torrent file. Then I use "btdownloadheadless.py foo.torrent". You could also use btdownloadgui.py.

Alright, the foo.torrent was just an example. it could be slackware.torrent (http://www.slackware.com/torrents/slackware-9.1-install-d1.torrent).
bittorrent is nothing like kazaa or limewire. You can't open an inteface and search for files.
btdownloadheadless.py is the command you use to download. you type in the console
btdownloadheadless.py examplefile.torrent

After I typed in the command: btdownloadheadless.py foo.torrent
It said: Segmentation Fault

Did I do something wrong? I tried it 3 times.

As I said before, foo.torrent was just an example. what you need first is a file that ends with .torrent.
You save that file for example in your /home directory. Then you go to the directory where the .torrent file is and type: btdownloadheadless.py name-of-the-file.torrent
If bittorrent is properly correctly it should work.
Good luck
