Python is used very heavily in rpm based distributions.  The system
utilities will depend on special modules that are not part of the
standard python release.  If those utilities (such as yum) are run using
the wrong Python version, things will not work.  I could not find Python
2.5 in my fedora yum repositories.  Either you installed it yourself or
used some other repository.

Hopefully you did not delete the Python 2.4.3 that is the default with
fedora 5.

Because the utilities reference python directly, you need to run an
alternate python version with a different name, i.e. python2.5 or
mypython.  This is a nuisance if you are developing Python applications
and want to use a newer Python version.  The executables for python2.5
should be in
	/usr/bin or /usr/local/bin
Once the python command is back to referencing 2.4.3, you should be OK.

I have tried fiddling the PATH so that my preferred python came first
for me, while the utilities found their python first, but I could not
make that work reliably.
