You don't. That's determined by the package build, not anything to do
with the package installer tools (either rpm or yum). Some 3rd party
repositories like IUS or software collections have python27, and that's
the best way to install it. If you've built your python from source,
then you've circumvented the package manager and done "Bad Things".
