Yes. I was confirming that this is not a problem with the currently
installed yum. The problem is showing up any time you try to import
libxml2. This is a general python problem and not a yum problem. It
just so happens that yum uses that module. Don't worry. I'm not
abandoning you yet.

I'm extremely confident that this is some stupid file corruption or
configuration error. If you need to reinstall, it will be because
it's just easier than tracking down the real problem. In that case,
your data should all be fine. You can copy over to another hard drive
temporarily or something.
This still smells like a wacky python thing to me. Do you have the
PYTHONPATH environment variable set?
Also,
rpm -V libxml2-python
rpm -V libxml2
