That is your problem. A Linux distro is made to work *together*... you upgrade to a version outside of the disto and you just might find that some things no longer work. You have probably broken several other things that require the official FC3 version of python. If you must stay with your "one off" version of python, try rebuilding yum from source rpm. That could very well fix your problem.
