Problem solved! Thanks to the responders, I was led to investigate the
installation of rpm itself (I'd had no doubts that rpm would have been
updated correctly). It turns out that rpm and supporting modules had
not been updated, and were still the Fedora 6 versions.
I would note that there was no indication of an incomplete upgrade
during the process of moving from Fedora 6 to Fedora 7.
Thanks again!

I just upgraded from Fedora 6 to Fedora 7 (Fedora 8 will not install due
to a halt during the dependencies check), and yum complains about a
missing python module, "rpm". Looking at the python libraries I see the
sturcture of the rpm related files has changed considerably.
Any suggestions on a quick fix to the problem would be much appreciated.
Here's the output of the a simple command "yum":
========================================================
There was a problem importing one of the Python modules
required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was:
No module named rpm
Please install a package which provides this module, or
verify that the module is installed correctly.
It's possible that the above module doesn't match the
current version of Python, which is:
2.5 (r25:51908, Apr 10 2007, 10:29:13)
[GCC 4.1.2 20070403 (Red Hat 4.1.2-8)]
