From much searching it looks as if it's a broken/inconsistent Python

Would rpm -V python yum rpm give you the info you need to confirm
that python, or indeed yum itself are "as packaged" ?
It's not sufficient (as many of the "answers" suggest) to reinstall
from source or from RPM - or from Synaptic.
This does not seem to fix whatever it is that is out of alignment,
since I have reinstalled Python, pygtk and yum from source
without any improvement.
Is that from src.rpm or actual source ?
So that could point at config that doesn't get updated with an
compile/install. Perhaps python library/include path ?
I would be very grateful if the yum shell script would be able
to take a more proactive approach to finding out what it
needed and what was missing - maybe looking in both
/usr/lib and /usr/local/lib for example, or finding multiple
Python installations and behaving in a sensible way.
Or perhaps you aren't using rpm to begin with ?
