I guess my very brief suggestion wasn't understood: in whatever shell
script you use to start the tools you want to use, insert, at the top,
right under the #!/bin/bash, the line
. /opt/<path/to/python2.7>/enable
so that the paths are set for that shell script, and all its children.
This will not result in you going into python's command line, nor will it
affect anything else, including yum.
