What is the exact name of your RPM? If it's just "python", then maybe yum is trying to upgrade CentOS' "python" to yours, which would be bad news. You could call it "python2.5" or even something like "python2.5-custom" to be extra safe.
Thanks Greg, this fixed the problem. The package is called python-2.5.2-rhel4, but I had another called python-base-2.5.2-rhel4 which yumex installed without errors.
