No, that's not a good fix. It patches python, that's probably not the
best place, despite the fact that it looks like a backward compat break.

Seth - has anything further been done on this?
Another "fix" which isn't entirely a good fix would be to have a new
build of yum that did a version check on urllib and acted
appropriately ( better than a new yum which explicitly requires the
newer python/urllib, but not by much ).
That being said, I'm sure this urllib change will be breaking more
than just yum so patching just 'yum' isn't a solution either.
Has this been bugzilla'd with fedora or upstream with python at all?

At least yum is going again. It's the main thing for patching updates
to the Fedora which is installed on my box.
Thanks guys...
