I think we need a new YumFaq item for this case specifically. This happens to people all of the time. They install yum and python packages that don't match. Your yum package was built for a different version of python than you have. Among other things (although this is the biggie) your yum modules are not in the module search path for this version of python. The cleanest thing to do is to get the yum source rpm and rebuild it on your machine with "rpmbuild --rebuild". Then, install that yum package. -Michael -- Michael D.
