Name   : python2.3

Version: 2.3.3
Release: 2pydotorg
Size   : 26.49 MB
Group  : Development/Languages
Repo   : Locally Installed
Summary: An interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language.
Description:
  Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming
language.  It incorporates modules, exceptions, dynamic typing, very high
level dynamic data types, and classes. Python combines remarkable power
with very clear syntax. It has interfaces to many system calls and
libraries, as well as to various window systems, and is extensible in C or
C++. It is also usable as an extension language for applications that need
a programmable interface.  Finally, Python is portable: it runs on many
brands of UNIX, on PCs under Windows, MS-DOS, and OS/2, and on the
Mac.

Name   : python2.3-devel
Arch   : i386
Version: 2.3.3
Release: 2pydotorg
Size   : 1.87 MB
Group  : Development/Libraries
Repo   : Locally Installed
Summary: The libraries and header files needed for Python extension 
development.
Description:
  The Python programming language's interpreter can be extended with
dynamically loaded extensions and can be embedded in other programs.
This package contains the header files and libraries needed to do
these types of tasks.

Install python-devel if you want to develop Python extensions.  The
python package will also need to be installed.  You'll probably also
want to install the python-docs package, which contains Python
documentation.

Indicating python 2.3 is installed.  When I issue a 'python -V', I get:

***
[salvatore at incom salvatore]$ python -V
Python 2.2.3

Indicating python 2.2.3 is installed.
The same goes for issuing a 'rpm -qi python':

***
[salvatore at incom salvatore]$ rpm -qi python

Summary     : An interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming 
language.

Description :
Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming
language often compared to Tcl, Perl, Scheme, or Java. Python includes
modules, classes, exceptions, very high-level dynamic data types, and
dynamic typing. Python supports interfaces to many system calls and
libraries, as well as to various windowing systems (X11, Motif, Tk,
Mac, and MFC).

Programmers can write new built-in modules for Python in C or C++.
Python can be used as an extension language for applications that need
a programmable interface. This package contains most of the standard
Python modules, as well as modules for interfacing to the Tix widget
set for Tk and RPM.

Note that documentation for Python is provided in the python-docs
package.

Any ideas why yum thinks 2.3 is installed and rpm thinks 2.2.3 is installed?
Let me know if there's some other metadata I should provide as well.
