echo $PATH gives:

So there is no python path. I was about to no rpm -e --nodeps python but
does rpm not use python?
Is there any other way I can force python to reinstall?
Best regards,

The short answer is rpm doesn't use python. The long answer is you can
always check dependencies with rpm (including rpm itself):
[dave@bend FC6-test3]# rpm -qR rpm
/bin/bash
/bin/sh

/bin/sh

You can try "rpm -i --replacefiles python" but your previous stab using
"--force" should have had the same effect (--force is the same as
--replacefiles --replacepkgs --oldpackage). One other thing you could
try is use the --relocate option of rpm to install python some place
else (e.g., make a usr/bin under /tmp and install it there) and then
manually copy the files to where they belong. Check the man page for
rpm for more information.
Cheers,
Dave
